Bridge Separation
Click here to view two bridge examples. The posting of both bridges are identical. Abutments and pontics, posted on the same day. However, is it one big bridge spanning from tooth 4 to tooth 10 as seen in the upper example, or are there two bridges, from tooth 4 to 7 and tooth 8 to 10, as seen in the lower example? The Clinical Chart will automatically separates them into two bridges if bridge 4-7 and 8-10 were posted on different dates. However, if all the work has the same date, the chart will assume it is one long bridge, as seen in the upper example.

If you have two bridges, side by side, both posted on with the same date, you will have to manually separate them using the Bridge Separation option. This is located on the Misc tab. Click the Bridge Separation button and the Bridge Separation screen will open. Using this screen, you will indicate where you want the break between bridges to occur by designating the tooth and surface for each side of the break. For this example, we have indicated the break to occur between the mesial of tooth 7 and the distal of tooth 8.

When you click OK the single long span bridge will separate into two shorter bridges. These settings will be kept permanently. You can also undo this at any time by un-checking your choice in on the Bridge Separation screen.
