German term or phrase: Brückenkrone
Various documents dealing with three and four-unit bridges for anterior and posteerior teeth. Kronenbrücke=crown bridge appears in the majority of the documents, Brückenkrone only in one. Are Kornenbrücke and Brückenkrone one and the same, or is there a difference between them?

Explanation:
for a 4-unit bridge you would have 2 teeth which need capping and a 2-teeth gap between them.

So, the Kronenbrücke is a bridge, supported by crowned/capped teeth
and the Brückenkronen are the crowns which support the bridge.

The 4-unit bridge could involve 3 supporting crowns and 1 gap if the supporting teeth are weak.

Explanation:
this is what it sound like to me. A "Kronenbrücke" would be the entire bridge.
