“Mojo” is a male Sheltie dog (Shetland Sheepdog) and he was about 1 year old when he came to our hospital for treatment, two months before the first visit (10 months old), the left maxillary first incisor (201) was fractured due to a fall. After evaluation, the pulp of the patient’s fractured tooth (201) has been exposed, which belongs to complicated crown fracture, and it needs endodontics. Because the stump of tooth is too close to the gingival sulcus, the surface area is insufficient, if only a single crown is installed after endodontics, it may fall off due to insufficient retention.

Therefore, Dr. Chung-Wei Chen decided to install a post after and a 3D printed metal bridge after endodontics, in this way, with the assistance of two adjacent teeth (101, 202), 201 will have sufficient retention and the structure will be more stable.

6 months after the 3D printed dental bridge was installed, the patient returned to follow up, his dental bridge is in good condition and is in good use. The owner said that she brushes Mojo’s teeth every day, so his dental health and oral hygiene are maintained very well.
