Actuality of the theme: Clear knowledge of construction features indications and contra-indications to their application, clinical and laboratory stages of making largely determine end-point of treatment – restoration of a form and function of masticatory system.

Specific targets:

- to define a indications to metal - ceramic bridges making;

- to define a contra-indication to metal – ceramic bridges making;

- to analyse the features of preparation of teeth for metal - ceramic bridges making;

- to distinguish the sequence of the clinical stages at making of metal - ceramic bridges;

- to distinguish the sequence of the laboratory stages at making of the metal - ceramic bridges;

- to explain positive and negative properties of the metal - ceramic bridges.
