A conservative aesthetic solution for a single anterior edentulous space: case report and one-year follow-up.

Conservative solutions for the restoration of a single edentulous space in the anterior maxilla present an aesthetic challenge to the clinician. Treatment options for tooth replacement include implant placement, a classical fixed partial denture, or a resin-bonded appliance with a metal substructure or fiber-reinforced resin. The resin-bonded Encore Bridge (daVinci Studios, Woodland Hills, CA) offers a restorative solution that is conservative and aesthetic when compared to the required full-tooth preparation in a conventional three-unit fixed partial denture. This case report addresses the indications, preparation guidelines, and restorative procedures for an Encore Bridge.
