How is the fit of a partial bridge tested?

Digital intraoral scans replace traditional impression materials. An acrylic trial framework lets the patient assess shape and colour. Articulating paper detects premature contact points when biting. Intermediate steps such as wax-ups show tooth position and smile line. A trial fitting with temporary cementation allows functional evaluation. X-rays verify a precise fit on the implants. Adjustments to contact points are made directly in the practice. Aesthetic parameters (translucency, texture) are optimised. Definitive placement follows once the trial set-up has been approved. A precise fit prevents overloading and damage.
