ABSTRACT
Aim of the study. For a young patient it is important to re-establish the integrity and the functions of dental arches, quickly and efficient, in optimum conditions, with many advantages. Material and methods The study balanced the possibilities to fabricate a minimally invasive bridge for a young patient in order to appreciate the characteristics of a Maryland bridge in treating a reduced edentulous status. Results The study revealed that a minimally invasive bridge placed in the posterior area of a lower arch, fabricated on a metallic framework and an aesthetic part made by resin composite material represent a favourable option as a temporary reconstruction. Conclusions The precision of such minimally invasive bridges and the variability of the materials and technologies that can be used, determine the young patients to accept them as a treatment for reduced edentulous status.
