Since my 4 units new porcelain bridge on teeth #11to 14 broke easily while eating subway sandwich, what type of bridge do i need to replace it with.?

New???? broke????: Sounds a little unusual. ..Are you sure it was not a temporary bridge? May be you need to go back to your dentist asap and discuss the situation with him? Make sure to ask him why did he recommend bridge and not dental implants.

PFM: The porcelain should be bonded to metal underneath it for strength it called porcelain fused to metal (pfm) there is other cosmetically better materials like zerconia or impress, they don't need any metal support. You need a strong material for that bridge since that area (#11-14) is a high stress area and the corner of the teeth arch.

Double abutment: Regardless of material, the span is potentially too long if two teeth are missing. The canine #11 is under tremendous forces and if the bridge is too long without adequate anchorage, the bridge could prematurely dislodge, or fracture. Zirconia supported bridges are new and great, but if the span is too long, the same problem may occur. Extending the bridge to incorporate another anchor may help.

Porcelain to metal: Porcelain to metal bridgework is typically much stronger than all porcelain bridgework. You may also want to investigate the credibility of the dental lab your dentist is using.

A few choices: Porcelain fracture can occur for many reasons. Most commonly in a bridge a strong bite or hard food can cause flexure of the metal framework of the bridge that supports the porcelain. The bend of the framework causes the porcelain to chip or break. A replacement bridge can be made with a thicker or altered design framework. A zirconium bridge (metal free) can be made and is strong.

Any PFM: Porcelain fused to metal should not have broken eating a subway sandwich specially if it was not too old.

Zirconia: The sandwich did not brake it, you might had farcture it while cleanching at night. If you are a clencher the best option is to malke a zirconia bridge.

Porcelain bridge: The space between the remaining teeth may be too large for these supporting teeth to hold. You probably need one or two implants for support or two or more implants instead of a bridge.

Choices: Bridges rarely break when eating.. If the bridge is new, and breaks soon after placement, it usually is weak in certain areas... Fortunately, having your dentist make a new bridge, possibly with a gold foundation under the porcelain, would be a better choice.

Porcelain bridge: I am not sure if you had a bridgework that was completed or a temporary bridge until a permanent one placed later. Depending on the case and the patient 's bite , porcelain fused to metal, or all zirconia crowns/bridgework are very strong and a good choice for posterior teeth.

Select new material!: Where did the bridge break, how long was it in, what were u eating, what kind of material was the bridge that broke made of, etc... You may want to consider a porcelain fused to gold bridge with a gold chewing surface and porcelain on the esthetic portion. Your dentist may also consider making a one piece milled zirconium 4- unit (bruxier) bridge. You and your dentist can discuss your options.
