Fiber-reinforced bridges, or FRCFPD (Fiber Resin Composites Fixed Partial Dentures), have shown good clinical performance, capable of withstanding the functional loads of mastication with a more biomimetic behavior than rigid bridges. The adhesive capacity of its materials allows these prostheses to have a lower biological cost than conventional alternatives since minimal or no preparation of the abutment teeth is necessary. FRCFPDs can be prepared in the laboratory or on

Algunos consejos para un buen manejo de coronas clínica cortas.

Las reconstrucciones de piezas fracturadas son el pan de cada día, aquí encontrás algunos puntos importantes a tener en cuenta.

I like to say that in dentistry, "A lot of water has flowed under the bridge." The evolution of dentistry over time has been enormous. Today, dentists think twice, even five times, before extracting a tooth because we have so many tools at our disposal to keep our precious teeth functioning properly. When we analyze the approach we'll take in a case, in a matter of seconds, many factors flash through our minds, such as: How much tooth structure do I remove? What material shou

When I started my private practice over a decade ago, I realized my service portfolio had a gap. On many occasions, patients came to my office needing a permanent or temporary replacement for a missing tooth, for various reasons. You might think, "But Doctor, there are many ways to replace missing teeth," and you'd be right. However, the options we have have remained practically the same as always: removable dentures, dental implants, and conventional bridges with their varia

I know that the idea of reading theory is not very exciting-believe me, I understand! However, Doctors, reinforcement fibers are biomechanically a completely different animal compared to any dental material we have encountered before. So if you are truly interested in reinforcement fibers and their application in adhesive bridges, I recommend taking four minutes to read this suuuper summarized information that I prepared for you. Let's begin! In the early 1990s, a variety of

How true is the idea that one treatment is better than another? Different treatments can fulfill the same function; however, if we analyze the situation, there will always be a treatment that offers more advantages than disadvantages for our specific case. So, is one treatment better than another, or is one treatment more appropriate than another? In this blog post, I want to share some characteristics that differentiate Fiber Reinforced Bridges (FRB) from other treatments

Manufacturing fixed prostheses directly involves many technical, skill, and design challenges with which the dentist is not necessarily familiar. When we receive a conventional bridge from the laboratory, we overlook many details that were covered during its manufacture, for example, the thickness of the material, the design of the connectors and the pontic, the polishing and detailing of the work, details that together cover the functions of a fixed prosthesis such as: -Imp
