Abstract

The anterior single missing tooth is a challenge to the dental surgeon when it comes to functional, aesthetic and biological integration especially when in adolescents or young adults, where passive eruption of the tooth is still active and where implant placement must be postponed. As a temporary or a long-term treatment, a fixed prosthesis can be placed, but in the era of maximum tissue preservation, dental practice is moving towards a harmless and conservative prosthetic therapy “the cantilever bonded bridge”.The indication is limited to the replacement of central or lateral maxillary incisor and mandibular incisors and therefore requires following a precise and rigorous clinical protocol. This article will discuss a simplified clinical realization of the ceramic cantilever bridge.The use of cantilever bonded bridges (single retainer) seems to be an excellent alternative compared to other therapeutic solutions.
