Fig. 48 shows the completed case and fig. 49 shows the post-operative x-ray.

This case required a double posted bladevent, fig. 50, in order to obtain proper occlusion with the opposing teeth, fig. 51, 52.

Very often it is necessary, due to esthetics, or slightly weaker bone support, to use three anterior tooth abutments rather than one or two for a long term success, fig. 53. The completed partial fixed bridges are fitted and cemented into proper position, figs. 54 through 58. A final panoramic x-ray shows both posterior blades to be below the canal. However, being that the grooves were made well on the lingual side of the ridge, no parasthesias can be expected, fig. 59.
