Question

Diego Pulido, DDS · Answer

Yes, is possible to keep the abutment teeth safe, removing the bridge with an electric motor, lot of irrigation and being very carefully. Is important to take x rays of the teeth, to evaluate the structure and the amount of bone surround them.

Hello. Removing the bridge is always a procedure that brings with it a possible damage to the underlying teeth, but in order to minimize the damage to the underlying abutment tooth that this procedure may cause, sometimes the relevant bridge is cut into pieces in the mouth and removed. In this way, the underlying teeth can remain intact.
