[QUOTE="Brett Hansen CDT, post: 288579, member: 3194"] Best plan of action is to make sure the doctor is aware that using an implant and a natural tooth as abutments to a bridge lowers the percentage of long term success. I have done a couple of these in the past and they are still functioning as far as I am aware. Both times I told the doctor that this wasn't an ideal way to restore a case, but I went ahead with fabricating the bridge after he approved it. There are no 100% in restoring implant cases. Lots of factors go into determining long term success. We also have to deal with patients who may be on a limited budget. As long as we are informing the doctor to the risk factors in cases like this, then we are doing our job in making sure the patient gets the best possible outcome. [/QUOTE]
