Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / November 2007Plastic Bridge - How long can it be left in?
Hi, I had a root extraction and a 3 unit temporary plastic bridge on Friday fitted. My dentist did say he wanted to get a semi-perminant solution in asap, and I was due back on wednesday. Unfortnately my grandmother has become seriously ill and is asking to see me. I have had to cancel my appointment on Wed, and they cannot see me for two weeks now. I just wondered, will it cause any complications wearing the plastic bridge for two weeks? Just wondered cos he said he wanted to get the other one in quickly. I'm a bit worried. > Hi, I had a root extraction and a 3 unit temporary plastic bridge on > Friday fitted.

Shouldn't be a problem if it fits reasonably well. If you're out of town, you may consider getting some temporary cement from your dentist or pharmacy in case it falls out.

I have bought some cement from the pharmacy. Hopefully it will be ok then.

Sometimes the plastic will wear down a bit and the teeth will shift, reducing the amount of space for the bridge to fit into Signature/ Amatus / >> Hi, I had a root extraction and a 3 unit temporary plastic bridge on >> Friday fitted.

In any case, the time frame is a couple of weeks, not months. Steve SignatureMark & Steven Bornfeld DDS http://www.dentaltwins.com Brooklyn, NY 718-258-5001 Haven't you see patients who lost a temporary for one week, and you had to grind over a mm off the crown to get it to fit?

Yes, occasionally--but not uniformly. What's a temporary?
