Episode notes
Rochette Bridges are a popular option for interim tooth replacement whilst implants in the aesthetic zone are ‘cooking’. In this episode with Dr Pav Khaira we discuss his interim restoration protocols using Rochette Bridges and Dentures, as well as gaining an insight in to custom healing abutments.
Which cement is best for Rochette Bridges? How do you remove them? Ceramic or Composite pontic? When might we consider a Denture instead?
