  • Title: Three-unit bridge construction in anterior single-pontic areas using a metal-free restorative.
    Author: Narcisi EM.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 1999 Feb; 20(2):109-12, 114, 116-9; quiz 120. PubMed ID: 11692325.
    Abstract:
    A new glass-ceramic material, IPS Empress 2, is revolutionizing esthetic restorative dentistry by allowing metal-free, three-unit bridge construction in anterior and premolar single-pontic areas. The case discussed in this article illustrates the material's application in the dual-arch restoration of a young woman with congenitally missing teeth. The material was used as an alternative to single-tooth implant restorations to place two maxillary three-unit bridges, one mandibular three-unit bridge, and two mandibular porcelain veneers. IPS Empress 2 provides an esthetic alternative to porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations by facilitating attractive, functional tooth restoration.
