The Troitsky Bridge Building Competition is an annual event that takes place at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the spring. Participating teams of engineering students come from universities across Canada and the United States. They design and build model bridges out of popsicle sticks, toothpicks, white glue and dental floss.
An alternative to the traditional bridge is the resin-bonded or adhesive bridge (also called a Maryland bridge). An resin-bonded bridge utilises retainer "wings" on the sides of the pontic which attach it to the etched enamel of the abutment teeth. Abutment teeth require minor or no preparation.

The structure of stages in the toothpick sequence often resemble the T-square fractal, or the arrangement of cells in the Ulam–Warburton cellular automaton. [ 1 ] All of the bounded regions surrounded by toothpicks in the pattern, but not themselves crossed by toothpicks, must be squares or rectangles. [ 1 ]
