We are firmly convinced that these are functional prosthetic solutions, more current than ever. The Toronto Bridge that was completed over thirty years has never been so modern

Patient: the sixty-five-year-old woman had a significant loss of the vertical dimension, symptomatic, tension-type headache, and backache. A bimaxillary screw-retained rehabilitation with two immediate loading Toronto Bridges is chosen.

The simultaneous execution of the two arches, even if very difficult in the settings, usually allows to completely reset in an individual, and without deciduous effects way, an aesthetic-functional situation is seriously compromised. Less than forty-eight hours after surgery the Toronto Bridge tightened to the patient is once again submitted to accurate controls and a slight occlusal correction.

 The holes of the fixation screws are covered with compressed cotton and composite. The case has been rather representative: the patient, who had a noncaring attitude and could help think at depression may be due to continuous headaches, showed a radical change after applying the prosthesis; she described a determined sense of relief, a sort of “liberation”.

It is never thought that these prosthetic rehabilitations could hail as a miracle and is extremely incorrect to classify them as “B series” prostheses. We are firmly convinced that these are functional prosthetic solutions, more current than ever. The Toronto Bridge that was completed over thirty years has never been so modern
