Abstract
Restoring a single missing tooth in the mandibular anterior region is often a great concern to the dentist because it requires unnecessary removal of healthy abutment tooth structure. Also because of the drifting of the teeth may reduce the available pontic space or presence of diastema before can result in excessive mesiodistal space which again compromises the aesthetics. When the patients demand more conservative and less invasive treatment options, a combination of Maryland Bridge with a loop connector may be the best alternative option to restore the missing teeth whenever the diastema is present. It is the modification of resin bonded FPD which offers a simple solution when the above dilemma is present. It consists of a loop on the lingual aspect, joining the pontic in the center, and then attaches to the wing retainer on the abutment tooth. This case report provides a straightforward and innovative method for the fabrication of modified resin bonded FPD along with maintaining diastema.
