This study evaluated a conservative treatment approach for replacing a missing upper front tooth (maxillary incisor). The treatment involved an all-ceramic, resin-bonded fixed dental prosthesis designed as a minimally invasive alternative to conventional bridges.
The prostheses were fabricated from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic and were designed either with a single retainer (bonded to one adjacent tooth) or with two retainers (bonded to two adjacent teeth). All restorations were bonded using light-curing resin cement.
The study assessed the clinical performance of these prostheses over a follow-up period of at least 12 months. Clinical evaluation included assessment of prosthesis integrity and function during the observation period.
