Andrews Bridge: The fixed but removable solution- A case report
Rehabilitation of lost teeth especially in esthetic regions with compromised ridges is very unpredictable and challenging to the prosthodontist. Rehabilitating these patients with unaesthetic long span fixed partial dentures may be unacceptable to the patient. This case report presents rehabilitation of a 48 year old patient with missing mandibular anterior teeth and Seibert's class III using a Fixed-removable prosthesis (Andrews Bridge). Andrews's bridge system is mostly indicated in patients with large hard and soft tissue defects. This prosthesis helps in restoring the function, speech with improved esthetics.
