Özet

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.
