What Is Maryland Dental Bridge?
Maryland Dental Bridge is a type of fixed dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth – commonly in the front of the mouth. Unlike traditional dental bridges, it does not require reshaping the adjacent teeth. Instead, the false tooth (pontic) is held in place by wings or frameworks that are bonded to the back surfaces of the neighbouring teeth. It is also known as a resin-bonded dental bridge, and is considered a minimally invasive and conservative option for suitable cases.
How It Works
Maryland Dental Bridge consists of a pontic (false tooth) made of ceramic or porcelain fused to metal, with thin metal or ceramic wings on either side. These wings are bonded to the inner (lingual) surfaces of the adjacent teeth using a strong dental adhesive, providing support without the need to grind down healthy teeth. This makes it ideal for replacing a single front tooth, where the bite pressure is lower.
