Hi:Very good question. Margin is the meeting area between a dental restoration and the tooth. If the margin is not sealed there is high chance of decay.Best,Dr. Maddahi
Hi, it sounds like you have had bone/gum shrinkage under your bridge. With food trapping it can and will eventually cause gum and possible decay on your anchor teeth. This puts your bridge at risk. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to repair this area without remaking the bridge. Sorry, don't...
