• Developing an ovate pontic site and using a Rochette bridge to condition the tissues.
• Surface preparation, particle abrasion and bonding procedures for tooth tissue and restorative materials.
• Using a patient’s natural tooth for a provisional adhesive bridge.
• Recognising, preventing and managing failure.
