An immediate adhesive bridge using the natural tooth

Abstract: There are several methods available for the replacement of missing anterior teeth. These include a removable prosthesis, a conventional fixed bridge, an adhesive bridge or a dental implant. The choice of the most suitable technique depends on several factors, such as the condition of the adjacent teeth, the occlusion, the patient's wishes and the financial implications of the proposed treatment.

“…There are reports of many cases treated with fixed appliances in the literature. [10161819] While some of these cases were treated with esthetic fixed maintainers, others were treated with glass fiber reinforced cement to fix the patient's own tooth as a pontic which is the permanent central incisor. Despite the advantages of these fixed restorations in comparison to removable partial prosthesis, the fixed appliances have limiting effects on the maxillary growth in preschool growing kids.…”

“…One major advantage of retaining the patient's natural crown is that the patient can better tolerate the effect of tooth loss. [3] In the present case reports, the patients wanted immediate esthetic replacement. The natural tooth pontic was splinted immediately after extraction to the adjacent teeth, to preserve the gingival architecture of the extraction socket, and to fulfill the esthetic requirements of the patient until the final prosthesis was fabricated.…”
