Clinical Case: Self-adhesive Cementation of a 3-unit Zirconia Bridge
June 9, 2021 | Prof. Jan-Frederik Güth
About the Case
A 67-year-old male patient presented with a missing tooth 36 and caries and fillings on the neighboring teeth 35 and 37. Discussion of all treatment options with the patient led to a full zirconia 3-unit FDP as the treatment plan. After careful caries excavation and renewal of fillings, the preparation was carried out and a precision impression was taken with 3M™ Impregum™ Super Quick Polyether Impression Material. A 3M™ Lava™ Esthetic Fluorescent Full-Contour Zirconia bridge was fabricated and seated with 3M™ RelyX™ Universal Resin Cement with a self-adhesive protocol.
