title: [Directly etched bridges. Experiences in 33 patients].
abstract: A study of immediately fabricated composite-etch bridges by using the crown of the extracted tooth as a pontic or by using a full-composite pontic is presented. The teeth to be replaced were to be extracted because of severe periodontal problems. The lifespan, the need for repair and possible advantages of this semi-permanent bridgework are discussed. The results indicate a favorable prognosis for this type of treatment in cases where there is a wish for postponing the insertion of removable partial dentures or extensive crown and bridgework.
