title: A transitional anterior fixed prosthesis using composite resin.
abstract: A method has been described to temporarily restore an anterior edentulous space in a single appointment. The technique uses a composite resin to retain a resin denture tooth (pontic) supported by edgewise orthodontic wire. This approach is suggested as a transitional treatment for patients who are not amenable to either a definitive fixed or removable prosthesis.
