🚫 The connector design is based on many factors from patient expectations and preference, parameters, limitations and future proofing. Wherever possible, connectors in chrome’s should be placed at least 3mm away from the gingival margins and should be designed with hygiene and the least amount of risk to adjacent teeth in mind.
✅ The most common types of connectors are bar and plate.
☑️ Bar – Feel bulky but are kind to the mucosa.
☑️ Plate – Covers more of the mucosa palatally and lingually and is less noticeable to the patient
