the most important is to have a firm and pronounced
alveolar ridge at the place of future ZX-27 glass
abutments,
unwritten rule: the more proper pillar teeth are ground
meszially, the more missing teeth may be replaced
distally (i.e. when replacing 5 and 6, it is ideal to grind 3
and 4; 5 will make the pontic and 6 will be the glass
abutment),
glass abutment is always the most distal part of the
bridge with shortened dental arch (Kennedy 1, Kennedy
2),
there must be at least one 1st class pillar among the
prepared own teeth; the more 1st class ground pillars,
the better the result,
glass abutment must have his antagonist to renew
occlusal relations and denture function

flabby alveolar ridge (5-8 mm side movements),
• insufficient alveolus height and widths with extensive bone
resorption,
•very narrow alveolus forming a narrow ridge created partially
by submucous tissue,
•insufficiently healed alveolus after extractions,
Patology

Cytological smears from the mouthwash fluid mainly contained
superficial, mature cells. In 17 sears
of 3 patients with glass abutment
amongst the 67 cytological specimen
of 9 patients were found a few
keratinized but otherwise typical cell
beside the large number of non
keratinized epithelial elements.
Typical keratinized stratified
epithelium was present on the surface
of the gum under the glass abutment.
Keratinization corresponded to
parakeratosis and hyperkeratosis
histologicaly. There were no mitotic
figures amongst the epithelial cells,
layers of the epithelium presented
typical maturation tendency towards
the surface.
