Özet

Replacement of maxillary anterior teeth in patients with natural diastema present problems that are further complicated if the patient wishes to preserve the spacing. This report describes a means of replacing a missing anterior tooth, while maintaining a midline diastema. The treatment that we utilized was insertion of a modified adhesive bridge. And also, maxillary lateral teeth restored with laminate veneers. In the adhesive fixed bridge, the pontic and the retainer were connected by a loop. Treatment with a modified adhesive bridge is a reversible, simple, and conservative technique.
