Esthetic And Functional Rehabilitation Of A Patient With A Maxillary Anterior Defect Using Andrew’s Bridge- A Case Report

Rehabilitating partially edentulous patients with anterior maxillary bone and ridge defect have always posed a challenge to the prosthodontist. The demands include the need for profound esthetics, difficulty in closing the defect, correcting the asymmetry of the face caused due to the defect and maintenance of proper oral hygiene in respect to that particular region. As the conventional fixed dental prosthesis does not meet up to the prime requisites of rehabilitating the defect, a fixed removable prosthesis with a bar between the terminal abutments on each side proves to be an innovative solution to restore esthetics and function.
