The prosthetic bridge will fulfill the long-lasting therapeutic goal if the abutments provide reliable support. Indicate the clinical aspects that should be considered to achieve clinical success while designing the bridge:

1) right clinical crown to root ratio, optimal 2:3, minimal 1:1;
2) right anatomical crown to root ratio, optimal 1:2, minimal 1:1;
3) sufficient number of abutments and their proper location;
4) well-anchored abutment teeth;
5) including Ante’s law describing the root surface area;
6) including Ante’s law describing the deflection (bending) of the span;
7) completed teeth development;
8) properly designed shape of the span;
9) usage of right metal alloys and ceramics; 10) adequate interocclusal space; 11) satisfactory oral hygiene.

Separate clinical conditions of abutment support from design and material choices, and check what Ante's law actually describes.
