 The Monodont Bridge is a
resin pontic with a patented
stainless steel framework.
The framework has small
retentive "wings" on each
side that fit into undercut
preps on the adjacent
abutment teeth. Available
for both anterior and
posterior applications, the
Monodont Bridge is a
conservative, economical and
easy solution for your
patients and your practice.
Our experience has shown
that dentists of all
specialties have embraced
these components and the
procedures they make
possible. The reversibility
of the procedure allows
greater flexibility in a
dynamic treatment plan as in
developing dentitions,
long-term reconstructive
therapy and periodontal
maintenance. The patient
base includes not only those
with economic
considerations, but also
those engaged in any
treatment plan requiring
potentially long-term fixed
prosthetics.
Clinical Indications
The Monodont Bridge is
indicated whenever there is
a missing tooth, a failed
Maryland Bridge, a
congenitally missing tooth
needing a flipper, a need
for an implant temporary
(and for tissue sculpting),
an implant that may have
failed, emergency avulsions,
periodontally involved
dentitions, elderly or
medically compromised
patients, or patients with
economic considerations.
The Monodont Bridge can be
used to replace a single
missing tooth anywhere in
the dental arch...anterior,
posterior, maxillary, or
mandibular... provided that
there is a mesial and distal
supporting abutment tooth.
Clinical
Contraindications
• Resin allergy
• Intra, extra-oral piercing
(i.e. tongue ball)
• Insufficient tooth
structure to adequately
prepare a distinctly
undercut Class III type prep
in the anterior, or a Class
II type box prep with an
undercut in the posterior
Advantages
• A conservative, affordable
single tooth replacement
• Great long-term
provisional for implant
sites
• Reliable alternative to
flipper partials/nesbits
• Esthetic, yet cost
effective option for the
patient on a budget
• Short two appointment
process with minimal tooth
preparation required |
