Hi
Thanks for your query with HCM,

With the description it looks like there is a calculus at the gingival margins of your bridge which led to the formation of periodontal pocket with abscess formation.

I would suggest you to visit your periodontist and prosthodontist as well for the best treatment

Hope my answer would be helpful.
