NobelProcera Bridge Alumina Indications : 

• Indicated for use in the esthetic region, premolar to premolar.
• Two-to four-unit bridges
• Requires a minimum cross-sectional area of 6.0 mm2
• Tooth-and implant-supported restorations

NobelProcera Bridge Alumina Contraindications : 

• No cantilevers and a maximum of one pontic between supporting teeth/abutments
• Bruxism

1. Preparation

• Eliminate sharp edges, undercuts, and grooves.
• Establish tapered axial walls.
• Provide adequate space for the coping and the dental ceramics porcelain.
• Provide sufficient reduction (1.2 mm to 1.5 mm).
• Only select cases which result in a 3 mm connector height.
• Avoid sharp angles on the occlusal surface.
• Provide sufficient occlusal/incisal reduction (1.5 mm to 2 mm).
• Avoid preparations that are excessively tapered or too close to parallel. The ideal total occlusal convergence is 6-10 degree.

2. Impression

• Make an ordinary crown and bridge impression using your preferred impression material and method.
• Send the impression to the laboratory.

3. Laboratory procedures

• The model is scanned using the NebelProcera Scanner. The data is transferred to a NobelProcera production facility.
• The bridges is milled and sintered to full density and retuned to the laboratory.
• The restoration is completed using an alumina veneering dental ceramic material and sent to the clinician.

4. Cementation

To save chair time, the NobelProcera Bridge Alumina can be cemented using conventional crown and bridge cement or it can be bonded.
