Abstract

Rehabilitation of a missing tooth with a Fixed Dental Prosthesis is a commonly used treatment option with proven clinical results and longevity. Recreating good proximal contacts is the key to successful rehabilitation. However, in clinical situations where a certain amount of diastema may be desired by the patient or deemed necessary by the clinician to achieve esthetic treatment, use of loop connectors is necessary. Digital evaluation of the tooth material arch length discrepancy and following esthetic proportions like golden percentage ensures a well planned treatment procedure and a more predictable treatment outcome. This case report highlight rehabilitation of a missing anterior tooth in esthetic zone utilizing digital planning software and using loop connector to maintain esthetics. The intent of this case is to highlight loop connector as a viable treatment option for maintenance of diastema in cases where desired and the use of simple, commonly available software to implement esthetic proportions in designing of restorations.
