An Imminent Approach in Esthetic Enhancement Through Loop Connectors

Missing tooth with diastema presents a great esthetic challenge for the prosthodontists to restore the edentulous space. The use of a conventional fixed partial denture (FPD) to replace the missing tooth may result in too wide anterior teeth leading to poor esthetics. This is because of the excess space available for pontic, which makes the incorporation of the diastema in the planned prosthesis, a compulsion. In such cases the diastema resulting from the missing central incisors can be managed with implant‑supported prosthesis or FPD with loop connectors. This clinical report discussed a method for fabrication of a modified FPD with loop connectors to restore the wide span created by missing central incisors.
