ABSTRACT

Maxillary anterior teeth are most prone to be missing either due to trauma, caries or congenital absence which further gets complicated due to drifting of the adjacent teeth in those spaces. These complications in the anterior teeth makes a great impact on the esthetics as well as confidence of an individual. Over the last several decades, dentistry has focused various treatment modalities for replacement of missing teeth by means of space regaining with orthodontic mechanics followed by prosthodontic replacement of missing teeth. This multidisciplinary treatment approach is considered to be best in such cases as it proves to be more functional, aesthetic and satisfactory for a patient in treating any tooth in this esthetic zone. This case report discusses about the esthetic correction of patient’s smile by replacing missing maxillary central incisors by orthodontic space regaining followed by all ceramic bridge restoration. Keywords: Diastema, orthodontic space correction, missing anterior teeth, esthetic zone, restoration
