The advantages and disadvantages that these bridges have in relation to other etch-retained bridges are discussed.

The ability to choose a labial path of insertion not only gives improved aesthetics but offers the opportunity of treating patients unsuitable for bridges requiring a lingual path of insertion. Although the clinical technique is straightforward it requires a knowledge of basic bridge principles and etched porcelain procedures.
