Both statement B and C are true. A fixed bridge consists of at least one abutment tooth (which serves as the anchor) and one pontic (artificial tooth). The fixed bridge is described by the number of units involved, which refers to the number of pontics needed to restore the missing teeth. There must be at least two abutment teeth in a fixed bridge to support the pontics.
