Özet:

Different treatment options for single missing tooth can be used such as conventional fixed partial denture or implant supported single crown. Implant supported single crowns are often preferred because there is no need to cut down healthy adjacent teeth to support the bridge. However, generally implant supported crowns can be made at least 3 months after implant surgery. For this short time period, fiber reinforced adhesive bridges can be considered as temporary, aesthetic and functional treatment approach. In this clinical study, loss of single maxillary central incisor was temporarily treated by fiber reinforced adhesive bridges in three different patients. For all three patients, the implant supported single crown application was planned as the final permanent treatment. After one month of clinical follow-up, all the three fiber reinforced adhesive bridges were intact and no signs of fracture, debonding or discoloration were observed. This alternative treatment approach may be successfully used for temporary treatment of incisor tooth loss.
