Minimally Invasive, Non-Surgical Anterior Rehabilitation of Congenitally Missing Maxillary Laterals : A Case Report

Abstract

A space in the anterior region of the dental arch of a youngster, either due to trauma or a congenitally missing tooth, can not only lead to psychological trauma but also create a functional dilemma for the dentist, as the usual treatment options of implant, removable partial denture and fixed partial denture available for adults, are often inapplicable or inconvenient for an adolescent. In such a situation, a resin-bonded fixed partial denture (RBFPD), such as Maryland Bridge fulfills all the requirements of an ideal solution for patients who choose a non invasive treatment approach to enhance their appearance.
