Abstract :
The challenge faced by dental surgeons with
a single missing anterior tooth is multifaceted,
particularly in achieving functional, aesthetic, and
biological integration. This challenge becomes more
pronounced in adolescents or young adults, where the
passive eruption of the tooth is still active, necessitating
the postponement of implant placement.
As either a temporary or long-term solution, a fixed
prosthesis can be considered. However, in the current
era emphasizing maximum tissue preservation, dental
practices are increasingly leaning towards a benign and
conservative prosthetic approach known as the
"cantilever bonded bridge." This approach is
specifically indicated for the replacement of central or
lateral maxillary incisors and mandibular incisors,
demanding adherence to a meticulous and stringent
clinical protocol.
This article delves into a simplified clinical
realization of the ceramic cantilever bridge. The
utilization of cantilever bonded bridges, particularly
those with a single retainer, emerges as a compelling
alternative in comparison to various other therapeutic
options.
