Area of Science:

  • Dental materials science
  • Restorative dentistry
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Single tooth loss presents a significant restorative challenge.
  • Traditional tooth replacement methods can be time-consuming and expensive.
  • Need for efficient, chairside solutions in dental practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple, economical, and fast chairside method for single tooth replacement.
  • To utilize an indirectly fabricated composite resin framework reinforced with polyethylene fiber.
  • To employ the existing tooth (natural or crown) as a pontic.

Main Methods:

  • Indirect fabrication of a composite resin framework.
  • Reinforcement of the framework with polyethylene fiber.
  • Utilizing the patient's natural tooth or existing crown as the pontic.
  • Exact repositioning of the coronal portion of an extracted tooth.

Main Results:

  • Successful implementation of a simple, economical, and fast chairside technique.
  • Elimination of laboratory involvement for the fabrication process.
  • Precise restoration of the tooth's original 3D intra-oral position.

Conclusions:

  • This technique provides an efficient alternative for single tooth replacement.
  • The method is cost-effective and minimizes chairside time.
  • It allows for predictable and accurate restoration using the patient's own tooth structure.
