Question 176 · LDEK · Bridges

A prosthetic bridge was planned. Upon abutment teeth preparation, temporary bridges must be fabricated:

1) only on vital teeth;
2) only in the anterior region;
3) in order to relieve the abutment teeth;
4) in order to prevent the displacement of the abutment teeth;
5) in order to maintain proximal contact points.
The correct answer is:
  1. A. 1,2.
  2. B. 1,2,4.
  3. C. 2,3.
  4. D. 1,4,5.
  5. E. 4,5.
Hint

Provisionals are needed after any abutment preparation; ask what happens to prepared teeth and their contacts if left uncovered.
