Salvaging of adjacent fixed partial dentures using an overcasting technique.
1997
: Occasionally, clinicians are faced with a situation in which a solitary tooth between two bridges requires extraction. When this type of situation occurs, we must ponder the dilemma of how to replace the missing tooth. Options include placing an implant where the tooth was extracted or remaking one large multiunit bridge. Implants are not always possible or practical, and remaking a multiunit bridge that involves the abutments of the two existing bridges can be challenging and becomes much more expensive to the patients. The overcasting technique is a treatment modality that offers a solution in these particular situations.
