Replacement possibilities for multiple missing Anterior teeth

by | Jun 10, 2017 | Treatments

The loss of anterior teeth leads to extreme psychological trauma, along with functional and aesthetic debilitation. Various etiologies can be attributed to the anterior tooth loss, including trauma, caries, and periodontal diseases. We restored the anterior teeth with two possibilities in the following cases.

Tooth-supported fixed partial denture. For many patients, a tooth supported fixed bridge is a very predictable and esthetic option for replacing multiple missing anterior teeth. The predictability of the result is highly dependent upon the length of span and the quality of the abutments, as well as the patient’s parafunctional activity. Research reports a three-unit anterior bridge on vital abutments as having an estimated 20-year survival rate of 83 percent, while the same bridge if one abutment has endodontic therapy, drops to a 60 percent survival rate. In this patient, we restored anterior teeth with tooth supported fixed partial denture or bridge.
