The bonded cantilever bridge: The gold standard for single-tooth replacement in the anterior region

Description What if replacing a single tooth didn’t always require an implant? The bonded cantilever bridge is now emerging as a particularly attractive treatment option for replacing a missing tooth while using a minimally invasive approach. During this theoretical and hands-on workshop, Dr. Philippe Francois will share a rigorous and reproducible approach for both the anterior and posterior regions. Preparation, material selection, bonding, occlusal adjustments… each step will be covered to provide a better understanding of the factors that determine the success of this restoration and its integration into daily practice. ProgramMorning: Presentation of a clinical case with over 15 years of follow-up. Clinical and scientific analysis of the anterior cantilever bonded bridge: preparation, temporary restoration, material selection, bonding protocol, occlusal adjustments, and postoperative instructions. Break. Hands-on session: preparation and assembly of an anterior cantilever bonded bridge. Afternoon: Presentation of the essential concepts of the posterior cantilever bonded bridge, in comparison with the anterior model. Clinical and scientific analysis of the posterior cantilever bonded bridge: specific considerations depending on the abutment tooth (premolar or molar). Break / Hands-on session: preparation and assembly of a posterior cantilever bonded bridge. Speaker(s)’ CV: Philippe François’s Background: Associate Professor and Hospital Practitioner (MCU-PH) in biomaterials at Paris-Cité University, Dr. Philippe François focuses his clinical practice on restorative and prosthetic dentistry. As a member of the UMR 1333 Oral Health Joint Research Unit, he actively participates in research on dental materials and innovative restoration techniques. He is also a member of the international Bio-Emulation group, recognized for its contribution to the dissemination and teaching of biomimetic approaches in aesthetic and functional dentistry.
