Dental ceramic bridge surgery. Close-up of the mouth of a 50-year-old woman, showing a custom-made ceramic bridge (centre left) that has been put in place in order to replace decayed teeth in the upper jaw. The bridge is fixed to a support that is attached to fixtures surgically embedded into holes drilled in the patient's jawbone. For a sequence showing the preparations and surgery for this dental bridge, see images C047/4693 to C047/4697.
