“POSTERIOR ZIRCONIA BRIDGES - WHAT IS THE MINIMUM CONNECTOR SIZE for those?” Of course, this also depends on the TYPE OF ZIRCONIA‼️ ⚠️ The weaker 4Y and 5Y zirconias are limited to 3 units and 5Y only for premolars. They require at least 16 mm2 for 2-3 units. 3Y can be made with only 9 mm2. According to manufacturer information, ONLY 3Y is indicated for 4+ units bridges and they need at least 9 mm2 connectors. THIS ALSO RELATES TO IMPLANT BRIDGES!! And CONNECTOR HEIGHT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WIDTH! Don’t forget that the connector EMBRASURE RADIUS also plays a big role! ALWAYS TAKE ALL PATIENT functional and esthetic parameters into consideration when selecting and designing restorative materials!!!! Follow MANUFACTURERS GUIDELINES!!! SV. profmarkusblatz #orthopedics
