Tell me what you think
This bridge went out a week ago
I washed the opaque off a couple of joints to the metal right before glazing , after glaze bake these joints went black
Because they are black , they appear in the mouth as if there aren't any joints

It looks very natural Adi, but I think it's the spaces between the incisors that make it look great. The "spaces" between the cuspid and first bi where you left metal showing don't really show much. Regardless, it's a very nice result!

Very cool case
Great thought in matching the diastema on max arch
Nice job on the tissue seal aswell

Can't understand why the doctor accepted the design with so many food traps for the patient to deal with....
If this is acceptable, its news to me. Many times I used 5 pontics, and sometimes 3 pontics, depending on the space.
The cuspids could have been designed smaller and maybe add 5 pontics, and maybe slight rotated pontics ?
Yes the patient can floss, and its natural looking, what about going out for dinner ? carry a toothpick.
Fun case, but I would never design that way... sorry :)

It looks really nice, it looks really natural, but normally poeple get bridges from not taking care of their teeth and I may be wrong, but the likelyhood of him taking better care of a bridge that'll save a bit of everything he eats is low. It does look like a nice job, but real world patient factors and minimalist connectors would worry me.

Ok, but is there any other way to solve the problem of a patient with spaces between his teeth?

Adi, years ago I had a case similar to this one, I either placed 1 to many pontics or 1 pontic short...
Diagnostic wax up was so easy to see what works best and I failed to do that. Lesson learned the hard way for me..
Next time around wax up diagnostic and get approval so there are no remakes like I had......

Very talented work, but it would better serve the pt if there were no gaps. Looks awesome in the mouth though.
