Fibre Reinforced Fixed Partial Denture for Periodontally Compromised Anterior Teeth
Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: To describe a protocol to replace few missing anterior teeth with periodontally compromised abutments. Background: Due to their lower modulus of elasticity, fibre reinforced composites (FRCs) minimize the stress level at the tooth restoration interface and enable an adjustment of the frameworkâs mechanical properties by inserting adequate fibre volumes. Direct and semi-direct fabricated FRC Fixed Dental Prosthesis (FDP) now compete successfully with conventional cast metal resin-bonded FDPs. Case Description: A Fibre Reinforced Composite(FRC) bridge was given to replace missing 31 and 41. The FRC material was bonded from canine to canine (33-43) to ensure the stability of the periodontally compromised abutment teeth by acting as a splint with minimal intervention. Conclusion: Fiber-reinforced composite restorations reduce the number of appointments and make single visit dentistry possible especially when the abutments are periodontally compromised and require splinting. Clinical Significance: This case report demonstrates the benefits of splinting periodontally compromised abutment teeth.
