Dental Bridge Procedure to Straighten Loose Teeth, A Review

Ifwandi Ifwandi

Abstract

Background: A dental bridge is a treatment that fills spaces or gaps between teeth or fills in missing teeth. Bridges can help restore bite and maintain the natural shape of the face. The procedure for closing or making abutments between the gaping tooth spaces uses dentures (called pontics). Objective: Report and explain the dental bridge process to straighten loose teeth. Materials and Methods: Based on the author's knowledge, this review included theory or case studies from Elsevier, Willey, MDPI, Hindawi Publishing, Dove Press, and Pubmed journals. Several (35 articles) of these manuscripts are then identified for appropriateness with the subjects provided in this study, assessed descriptively, and described based on the manuscript's flow or scientific principles. Results: Pontics are made of porcelain to match the natural color of the teeth. After the pontic is implanted, there is no more space between the teeth. In general, this procedure is needed to: Restore the teeth's ability to bite and chew, Clarify speech when you speak, Maintain facial shape, and Prevent remaining teeth from falling out or shifting positions. Four types of dental bridges are an option to "bridge" the empty dental space: Traditional bridge, Cantilever bridge, Maryland bridge, and Implant-supported dental bridge. Pontic installation through this process must be repeated every 5-15 years, depending on the type of treatment. This paper reports several types of dental bridges that can be used as references to improve understanding of prosthodontics. Conclusion: A dental bridge uses dentures anchored to teeth or implants to replace lost teeth permanently, improving speech, restoring a smile, and preventing tooth loss
