When a removable temporary partial cannot be tolerated, a Temporary Maryland Bridge -- consisting of two bondable mesh pads attached to a pontic -- can effectively maintain space and provide the patient with an esthetic result. Tooth preparation is not needed, making it ideal for the young trauma patient. However, it is essential to have occlusal clearance with the opposing arch. Note: When ordering this appliance, always send an opposing model, an accurate bite registration, and a tooth-shade selection.
