Hello sir !
Maryland bridge is a conservative fixed treatment option to replace missing teeth.
It has very specific indications , like you mentioned the teeth should be sound , caries free and have enough tooth structure for bonding. In addition to all this your bite should be suitable as well.
Since this treatment option does not include the whole tooth but only partially, the greatest risk or complication of this procedure is DEBONDING.
It is best suited for teeth in lower arch and especially for replacing one teeth , multiple teeth replacement as higher chances of debonding.
One cannot assess the life span of a Maryland bridge but studies suggest at 21% debond after 2 years.
