Abstract:
In the presence of anterior unitary tooth loss, the therapeutical arsenal of the practitioner remains the implant solution. But, at the young patients who have not completed their growth, it's necessary to pass by a transitional stage. The bonded bridges reinforced by a polyethylene fibbers splint such as Ribbond THM constitute an alternative of choice to solve the aesthetic damage in the short and medium term while waiting for the prosthesis with implant. It's a similar case that is reported through this article.
