Abstract

Loss of variable amount of soft and hard tissueis often an inevitable consequence of missing teeth.Prosthetic rehabilitation of large anterior alveolar ridge defects is often a challenge to the clinician.1 Such defects require not just the replacement of teeth, but also closure of defective area so as to achieve proper speech and aesthetics. Fixed removable partial dentures are indicated for patients with extensive tissue loss and when the alignment of opposing arches creates difficulties for placement of conventional partial denture. Andrewss bridge is a type of fixed removable prosthesis indicated in patients with severe ridge defects. This type of prosthesis successfully replaces missing teeth along with complete closure of defect, restoring speech and aesthetics.2.
