title: Follow-up study of patients with bridge constructions performed by private dental surgeons and at a university clinic, 8 years following insertion.
abstract: Patients treated in private practice and patients treated at the Department of Prosthetic Dentistry of the Faculty of Odontology in Gothenburg with fixed bridgework were questioned about their experience of their bridges. The interview was carried out with questionnaires and in some cases by telephone. The results were similar in both groups, and the patients were satisfied with the treatment.
