Abstract :

Dental esthetics is one of the essential components in terms of Beauty concepts. The sudden loss of an anterior tooth is a catastrophic for a patient that leads to extreme psychological trauma, along with functional and esthetic debilitations. Irrespective of the final treatment, the first line of management would be to provisionally restore the patient�s esthetic appearance at the earliest, while functionally stabilizing the compromised arch. Using artificial tooth, as pontic of right size, shape, and color , provides exact repositioning a tooth into its original intraoral position with splinting which is a fast alternative for single and multiple teeth replacement. This paper describes the immediate replacement of lower central incisor with the artificial tooth as pontics, a simple and economical method. It requires minimal or no tooth preparation tooth and also it is a reversible technique with no additional lab costs.
