Abstract:

Objectives: This clinical report describes a relatively less-invasive, functional and more conservative hybrid fixed prosthodontics treatment option for a patient with a missing tooth combining laminate veneering abutment while the other abutment was fully covered. Patient and Methods: A female patient with a missing maxillary left central incisor was less-invasively treated with an FDP with an all ceramic In-Ceram zirconia restoration covering the right lateral and laminating the left central. Results: The restoration has served the patient aesthetically and functionally for 5 years, seemingly without discomfort, and it has not required any maintenance. The patient has kept up with her oral hygiene. Conclusions: Although additional clinical experience is necessary, this new design can be used in special situations.
