title: Metal-reinforced anterior tooth replacement using acid-etch-composite resin technique.
abstract: A conservative technique for replacement of a missing single anterior tooth has been described. An artificial composite resin tooth reinforced with orthodontic perforated metal pads is used as a pontic. It is bonded directly to proximal and lingual surfaces of the adjacent teeth using composite resins and acid-etching.
