Abstract :

 The basic aim of a dental prosthesis is the restoration of function and esthetics by replacing missing teeth with minimal risk to adjacent supportive tissues1.Many at times the edentulous span may be too long or presence of diastema. In such situations the use of a conventional fixed partial denture (FPD) to replace the missing tooth may result in anterior teeth being too wide, an over–contoured emergence profile, and altered length–to–width relationship of the teeth2, 3. Maximum esthetic results may be obtained if the natural anatomic forms of teeth are protected and the diastema are maintained with minimal over–contouring of the adjacent teeth2. In routine dental practice there can be situations like generalized spacing, pre–existing diastema, or excessively long edentulous span where diastema may be desired. When clinical conditions or economic constraints preclude the use of implants, a fixed dental prosthesis with loop connector can be a good treatment option. A loop connector can be used to replace one or more missing teeth maintaining the diastema3.
