Abstract
The period of time between extraction and recovery following tooth loss in the esthetic zone can be awful to the patient's appearance and mental health. A suitable alternative to extraction and replacement of a maxillary anterior tooth is quick tooth replacement with an ovate pontic on a temporary fixed partial denture. The interdental papilla, which is preserved by ovate pontic, in turn protects the contour of gingiva that after extraction would have been lost. Utilizing an ovate pontic, an instantaneous tooth replacement removes the emotionally distressing partial edentulous stage, while also producing a considerably more aesthetically acceptable, hygienic, and natural-looking replacement tooth. Ovate pontics have the additional benefit of avoiding the dissatisfaction associated with an unattractive ridge lap pontic. The case study demonstrated an ovate pontic replacement for an upper anterior tooth that helped a patient whose mobile anterior tooth was advised for extraction and finally resulting to both improved esthetics and health.
