Abstract
Esthetic tooth replacement is a challenging procedure for the dentist, patient, and technician. Loss of the anterior teeth with existing diastema may result in excess space. Various treatment options are available for the replacement of multiple anterior teeth. These options include partial removable dental prosthesis (RDP), an implantsupported prosthesis, and conventional fixed dental prosthesis (FDP). FDP, along with loop connector, is the best treatment option but not on those with limited interocclusal space and with deep bite. The cantilever FDP with canine and lateral incisor is the proper choice for such case. The cantilever FDP design enhances the natural appearance of the restoration and proper contour, emergence profile, and dental forum. This clinical report describes a technique that fabricates a bilateral three-unit metal ceramic (MC) cantilever FDP to achieve optimal esthetics and functional correction for patients with missing maxillary central incisors along with diastema in between central incisors.
