The use of dental bridgework to restore a patient’s dentition is a treatment carried out by practitioners on a regular basis. Despite advances in the materials and technologies used to construct such restorations, and with the cements used to retain them, failure and the need to replace bridges occurs. The reasons for failure are multiple and caries are found to be most common cause. The longevity of prosthesis varies with type of prosthesis .
