Abstract

The conventional approach for replacing missing maxillary lateral incisors dictates the placement of either a conventional porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM)bridge, resin-bonded fixed partial denture, or single implant prosthesis. However, several appearance-related disadvantages have been reported in the use of a prosthesis which incorporates a metal substructure. To address these limitations, metal -free restorative alternatives have been recently developed to expand the clinical options when fabrication of these prostheses is indicated. This clinical report describes the treatment of patients with a missing maxillary lateral incisor where the dentition was non-invasively restored with resin-bonded fixed partial denture(RBFPD) using In-Ceram and Targis-Vectris system.
