A case of improving esthetic disorder of maxillary anterior teeth using all-ceramic bridge restoration

Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 46-year-old man who visited the clinic complaining of the appearance of his anterior teeth. The patient was diagnosed as having esthetic impairment due to missing maxillary left central and lateral incisors. An all-ceramic bridge with zirconia copings and porcelain was used for prosthetic treatment of the missing teeth. The anterior guidance of the all-ceramic bridge was fabricated by referring to that of the initial prosthesis confirmed as having no functional abnormalities.

Discussion: By reflecting the anterior guidance at the initial visit, the all-ceramic crown was fabricated, resulting in patient satisfaction with esthetics and function.

Conclusion: An all-ceramic bridge was fabricated, and good esthetic and functional results were obtained.
