Figure 12: This occlusal view shows the amount of tooth reduction required for a full-coverage restoration. This patient has chosen a 4-unit bridge to replace the missing maxillary left central and lateral incisors. Virgin abutment teeth have been compromised during tooth preparation. Ovate pontics have been created to enhance the appearance of the final restoration.
