With healing, bridge is firm.
Comments:
With the loss of a posterior abutment for a bridge, then the entire bridge is lost. Patient has two options either to try a root amputation or extraction with implants. Cost is always a factor, and in this case, it was a major factor. Patient wanted to salvage the bridge as long as possible. I think we have given this bridge more time.
