[QUOTE="Dr Steve Schwartz, post: 463, member: 81"] RE: IMPLANT INSTEAD OF BRIDGE If the teeth acting as abutments need crowns, then bridges make sense. However, too many patients are missing teeth but have virgin or near-virgin teeth on either side of the space. Then I consider it destructive to crown them. I would still rather see teeth kept seperate; i.e. not joined together. Patients can floss better, and any issue that involves one tooth only involves one tooth. That is, one tooth of a 3 unit bridge now involves 3 teeth. All things considered, I would rather restore max laterals w/ implants than endo-post-and-core-and-crowns, as they fail (read: break) so often. [/QUOTE]
