Abstract
Prosthodontic Rehabilitation of a Cleft Patient with Andrews Bridge: A Case Report
Highlights
Among various treatments for the patient with compromised edentulous space is the fixed removable partial denture
Complete aesthetic surgical replacement of the lost tissues is difficult and unpredictable, when a greater degree of the residual ridge has been lost due to trauma, congenital defects or other pathologic process
Andrews bridge system is composed of two components: Fixed component and a removable component
Summary
Among various treatments for the patient with compromised edentulous space is the fixed removable partial denture. McCracken stated that when anterior teeth are replaced with a removable partial denture, support for the anterior segment is difficult to obtain unless multiple rests on several adjacent teeth are utilized. It is better to avoid the numerous components by using anterior fixed partial dentures [1]. Conventional fixed partial denture and implant supported FPD fails to replace the lost soft tissue structures. In such cases replacement of teeth along with the supporting structures can be achieved by Andrew’s Bridge [2]
