The Maryland bridge is very good and common in patients with lost teeth (one, two or three teeth). Maryland bridges are made of metal, resin for dentures, porcelain and sticked by Enforce material and halogen light. We would like to present 30 patients with 42 Maryland bridges: 22 cases had one Maryland bridge, 5 cases had two Maryland bridge, 3 cases had three Maryland bridges, 1 case had four Maryland bridge. We repaired two bridges. The remaining Maryland bridges showed good results. With a few adjustments the patients feel comfortable in chewing, speaking and smiling.
