BelleGlass grinding free aesthetic bridge

BelleGlass grinding-free aesthetic bridge

During the last meeting we bonded the bridge in, thus solving the chewing and aesthetic problems of the patient. He has a beautiful, confident smile now without missing tooth! Material of the bridge: metal free BelleGlass modified ceramics without a frame. The bridge is made in two phases: milling the cassettes and creating the imprint in the first phase and then bonding in the second phase in five days time after the first phase.

This patient came to see us because the loss of his teeth were disturbing him both aesthetically and in chewing. Through the discussion, we decided to use BelleGlass non-grinding aesthetic bridge. In the first treatment phase we milled small cassettes into the teeth next to the gap that is clearly visible in the photo. The bordering teeth were filled and decayed, this why the relatively big size of the cassettes.

This method makes possible to build up the bridge when there is only tooth missing, without grinding down the teeth next to the gap. Small cassettes need to be made on the surface of the teeth that are facing to the gap that means only about 20% loss of those teeth compared to the 70% which is the typical percentage of loss when the teeth are grinded. The BelleGlass is a modified ceramic material, in between the white filling and the normal ceramic. Its advantages are its flexibility and the reduced hardness – these make it similar to the tooth enamel. Another important advantage is that it prevents the tooth from breaking even if there is a big hole in it, thus serving the chewing for long years aesthetically. Due to its reduced resistance, it can be used to replace only one tooth, it isn’t suitable to create bigger bridges, and due to its high fibre content its aesthetics is not the best to use it for front teeth (its colour is a bit greyish because of its transparency). Using it towards the back teeth its colour and especially its function will be more and more appropriate. The BelleGlass bridge is made and applied in two phases. In the first phase we mill the cassettes and remove the decayed parts, using painless anaesthesia. Then we create a precision imprint that goes to the lab where they create the bridge itself in about a week time, while the patient will have temporary fillings in those little holes. In the next phase the BelleGlass grinding-free aesthetic bridge is applied and bonded by a special adhesive that doesn’t modify its colour but gives a safe grip. The comparison table of grinding-free bridge materials is available at the reception.
