Murad Bridge is a dental bridge invented by Rashad Murad that contains a "Muradpontic". Muradpontic is a pontic-made of acryl-used in the dental metal porcelain bridges. So it is a modification on the pontic used in the traditional metal porcelain dental bridge. The modification is done by making the pontic of acryl instead of porcelain to provide several advantages: The bridge will be less weight, the occlusal forces will be reduced on the abutments and tissue support will be providedfor the abutments. Muradpontic is used as an alternative solution for the treatment of some special clinical cases: Lack of bone support of dental abutments, Long bridges, Cantilever bridge, Free Edentulous and dental implant. lt is used to provide fixed prosthodontics that reduce the occlusal forces on the abutments and reduce the cost compared with the cost of dental implants. So Muradpontic is a potential treatment solution for such special clinical cases.
