A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth to adjacent teeth or implants. A stuck bridge occurs when the bridge becomes firmly attached to the surrounding teeth, making it difficult or impossible to remove. In such cases, a dentist may need to intervene to remove the stuck bridge.
There are several reasons why a dental bridge may become stuck. One reason is the accumulation of plaque and tartar around the bridge, which can cause the bridge to become cemented in place. Another reason is the shifting of the teeth over time, which can put pressure on the bridge and make it difficult to remove. Additionally, the bridge may have been improperly fitted in the first place, which can also lead to it becoming stuck.
