Abstract:
This report describes crown lengthening and ridge recontouring to facilitate the provision of an aesthetic bridge pontic. A short clinical crown on one of the abutment teeth and a prominent edentulous ridge were probably related to a traumatic episode which caused the avulsion of the missing incisor in childhood.
