Temporary Bridge (Implant)

#Temporary Bridges Temporary bridges can be planned for anticipated immediate temporization of implants. A separate wiki page will cover temporary bridges for conventional crown and bridge applications.

A test file can be downloaded [here] (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2586482/odc_public_documentation/Temp%20Bridge%20Implant/temp_bridge_simple.blend) with a basic splint already designed.

Plan Your Restorations.

For this it is easiest to use the "Plan Multiple" function.

1. Plan the implants (not pictured)
2. Plan the abutments as full contour restorations (yellow stars)
3. Plan the pontics as pontics (red star)

Here, because I don't have a better example file handy, I will plan a 3 unit bridge in teeth 35,36,37 (ISO numbers) and create them all as premolars, even though the tooth 35 is present. The software doesn't care as long as you have 3 consecutive restorations planned.

Design your splint base.

This can be done before or after designing the bridge or before or after planning the anticipated implant locations. Please refer to the Splint Basics section
