In bridge prostheses, supporting teeth meet both the pressure on themselves and the pressure on the missing tooth. For this reason, it should be evaluated whether the load on the support teeth and the health of the support teeth are strong enough to meet the load on them. Dental bridges are fixed prostheses that the patient cannot remove. They can be produced as porcelain or full ceramic with metal support. Metal-supported fixed bridges are prostheses with sufficient strength; however, they may cause aesthetic problems. Due to the aesthetic disadvantages of metal-based prostheses, break-resistant, aesthetic full ceramic materials have been produced.
