Materials used in rehabilitation of anterior teeth with Maryland adhesive bridge

AUTHOR(S): María Fernanda Sepúlveda Leos
ABSTRACT:Introduction: Adhesive bridges are introduced to the market due to the need to provide more patient comfort and promote minimal invasiveness in restorative dentistry.
Objective: Analyze the literature about the different materials that can be used to make a Maryland adhesive bridge. It is particularly analyzed about its manufacture with zirconia, its manufacture with Lithium Disilicate and its manufacture with metal ceramics and finally with PMMA as an alternative to a minimally invasive treatment.
Methodology: Qualitative and retrospective systematic bibliographic review, an electronic search was carried out through PubMed, Google Scholar and Elsevier using the terms "adhesive bridge", "minimally invasive", "zirconia" and "E.Max".
Results: There is a wide variety of materials for the manufacture of Maryland adhesive bridges such as: Zirconia, which has excellent physical and mechanical properties; Lithium Disilicate with a highly aesthetic property due to its translucency, porcelain metal with its various favorable characteristics and PMMA with its simplicity in manufacture.
Conclusions: There are different situations for which the Maryland bridge is indicated, mainly to maintain some space after orthodontic treatment. It is important to have previous knowledge of the protocol indicated for the adhesion of the adhesive bridge and its materials.
