The use of a resin-bonded prosthesis while maintaining the diastemata: a clinical report

J Prosthet Dent. 2005 Dec;94(6):507-10. doi: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2005.09.015.

Abstract

A dental arch with diastemata and missing lateral incisors represents a challenge because of discrepancies in tooth size. If an implant-supported prosthesis is not possible or not selected as a treatment option, a modified resin-bonded fixed partial denture may be a treatment option to eliminate the esthetic problems of conventional fixed partial dentures. This clinical report describes the procedures to replace congenitally missing lateral incisors with a resin-bonded prosthesis, while maintaining diastemata.
