PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crown) dental bridge is an advanced oral restoration technology. Its principle lies in the perfect fusion of a metal base and a porcelain layer, forming a solid and aesthetically pleasing restoration. Under high temperatures, molten ceramic powder is sintered onto a specially treated metal base. This combination retains the strength and stability of the metal while giving the restoration good aesthetics and biocompatibility. PFM dental bridges are fixed onto healthy teeth (abutment teeth) on both sides to restore the function and aesthetics of multiple missing consecutive teeth.
High strength and stability: The PFM dental bridge combines the strength of the metal base and the translucency of the porcelain, making the restoration both durable and strong, effectively restoring the patient's chewing function.
High aesthetics: The porcelain layer of the PFM dental bridge has a smooth surface and stable color, capable of mimicking the color and shape of natural teeth, providing patients with aesthetically pleasing restoration results.
Good biocompatibility: The materials used in PFM dental bridges have good biocompatibility with no significant allergic reactions to the oral environment, making them suitable for most patients.
High wear resistance: After high-temperature fusion, the ceramic layer forms a solid protective layer, enhancing the wear resistance of the crown and extending its lifespan.
PFM dental bridges are widely used in the field of oral restoration, particularly advantageous in cases of multiple missing consecutive teeth. Their applications include but are not limited to:
Restoration of multiple missing consecutive teeth: For multiple missing consecutive teeth caused by cavities, trauma, etc., PFM dental bridges provide a stable and aesthetically pleasing restoration solution, restoring the patient's chewing function and facial aesthetics.
Improving oral health: By restoring missing teeth, PFM dental bridges help improve the oral environment, reduce food residue and bacterial growth, and lower the risk of oral diseases.
Enhancing quality of life: Restoring the integrity and function of teeth allows patients to face social situations more confidently, thereby improving their quality of life.
As an advanced oral restoration technology, PFM dental bridges are widely used in the field of oral restoration due to their high strength, stability, aesthetics, and good biocompatibility. By being fixed onto healthy teeth on both sides, PFM dental bridges effectively restore the function and aesthetics of multiple missing consecutive teeth, bringing significant restoration results and quality of life improvements for patients. However, before treatment, patients should fully understand the treatment process, expected outcomes, and potential risks, and make informed decisions under the guidance of their doctor.
