ABSTRACT:
A reinforcing frame for a dental bridge is described. The frame consists of a main support bar which is bent so that ends may be mounted in abutment teeth spaced above the central portion where the pontic will be formed. A pair of cross bars are then mounted at the central portion extending equidistantly, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the main support bar. The cross bars or rings and ellipses may be attached in a conventional fashion such as by welding or by spot welding. Optionally, U-shaped wires depend from the ends of the cross bars. The dental prothesis is then formed around the cross bars and main support bar so that the occlusal surface thereof is above the main support bar and there is no more than about 1.5 to 2 mm of bulk composite or porcelain extending beyond a reinforcing metal member. An additional support bar can be provided when cross bars are mounted below and/or above the main bar. This bar is mounted below the cross bars extending parallel to the main support bar.
