AbstractBridges are commonly used to replace missing teeth. Periodontal health may, however, be compromised by ill-fitting margins and excess cement. This case report describes the conservative management of chronic gingival inflammation adjacent to the resin-bonded retainers of an anterior bridge by gingival remodelling via a removable prosthesis. This avoided the need for surgical intervention and re-established a suitable gingival profile before placement of a definitive cantilever resin-bonded bridge.
