This case report describes the treatment of a 14-year-old female patient with
maxillary bilateral lateral incisor agenesis. all-ceramic resin-bonded fixed partial
dentures (CRBFPDs) were selected as the most conservative and esthetic treatment
option. Single-retainer cantilever zirconia-based CRBFPDs were fabricated
and adhesively bonded to the abutment teeth, closely following the protocols
suggested by the most recent scientific evidence. Proper case selection, preparation
technique, and bonding protocols are fundamental for long-term clinical
success. in appropriate cases, zirconia-based CRBFPDs provide a time- and
cost-effective treatment option for missing lateral incisors. Further clinical trials
are necessary to confirm the promising results of these restorations. (Am J Esthet
Dent;2:226–237.)
