Anterior Aesthetic Tooth Replacement Using Loop Connectors – A Case Report

Omir Aldowah

ABSTRACT

A combination of large midline diastema, generalized spacing and missing tooth often poses as a challenging and complex clinical scenario for the prosthodontists. Usually patients with this condition have limited treatment options for prosthetic rehabilitation of their edentulous spaces. Implant supported prosthesis or fixed partial dentures are the most viable treatment options in such cases. Due to the excess space available for the pontic, fixed partial denture with loop connectors may be the most workable and effective solution to restore the aesthetic and function of the patient. This case report describes a clinical case where a loop connector fixed partial denture was fabricated and delivered to a patient with missing lateral incisor and generalized spacing in the anterior region.
