A new dental technique uses composite resin and orthodontic wire to temporarily replace missing front teeth in one visit. This method offers a quick solution for patients needing a transitional restoration before a permanent prosthesis.

Area of Science:

Dental materials science
Orthodontic techniques
Prosthodontics

Background:

Managing anterior edentulous spaces presents challenges in restorative dentistry.
Patients may require interim solutions when definitive prostheses are not immediately feasible.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel chairside method for the immediate, temporary restoration of an anterior edentulous space.
To present an alternative transitional prosthetic option for specific patient populations.

Main Methods:

Utilizing a resin denture tooth (pontic) retained by edgewise orthodontic wire.
Employing composite resin for stabilization and retention of the pontic.
Performing the procedure within a single dental appointment.

Main Results:

Successful temporary restoration of the anterior edentulous space was achieved.
The technique provided a stable and esthetic interim solution.
The method proved effective for patients unable to undergo immediate fixed or removable prosthodontic treatment.

Conclusions:

This technique offers a viable, single-appointment solution for temporary anterior tooth replacement.
It serves as an effective transitional treatment for patients awaiting definitive prosthetic rehabilitation.
The described method expands the options for managing edentulous spaces in clinical practice.
