Abstract

A variety of treatment options are available for replacing missing teeth, ranging from conventional removable prostheses to titanium-based implant prostheses. However, when anterior teeth are lost in younger patients, selecting the appropriate treatment modality can be a challenge for dental practitioners, who must consider factors such as minimal or no adjacent tooth preparation, immediate restoration of esthetics, and cost-effective management. The purpose of this paper is to describe a case in which the clinical crown of a 12-year-old boy's avulsed right maxillary central incisor was used as a pontic, and to advocate for this procedure over other replacement procedures.
