A new bridge for Mrunal's cleft palate

Mrunal was born with a cleft palate. The metal-ceramic bridge she had in that area had worn out, its colour had drifted from her other teeth, and the gaps around it caught food at every meal.

We made her a 4-unit Lava bridge: a zirconia frame for strength, layered with E-max so the surface looks like enamel. Where gum tissue was missing, we added pink ceramic. That closed the gaps where food used to collect.
