    Yes u can very well go ahead and give the bridge..there are several reasons..the first is you avoid cutting an extra tooth and the other reason being if you include the lateral, it may have to go in for a root canal if the patient has high aesthetic expectations..also the canine is not subjected to heavy forces unless the patient bites with it..and the pericemental areas of the premolar and canine are also almost equal..Be careful you tell the patient not to bite with the bridge..

    Perhaps no. The root area of the abutments should be more than that of the pontic. So ideally the lateral must be included.

    Besides at least theoritically we are supposed to provide a canine protected occlusion. So there are always heavy stresses on the canine.

    So be careful . Weigh the pros and cons carefully before proceeding

    regards,

    veeren

    I think this is a good situation to use the cantilever bridge since the peri-cemental area of premolar corresponds to that of canine
    besides if one doesnt want to include lateral for estthetic reasons we can use the molar and premolar as abutments
