title: Immediate provisional and long-term anterior prosthodontics: a comprehensive approach.
abstract: The success of any anterior prosthodontic restoration depends on many factors. Considering those multiple influences during treatment planning can profoundly affect the long-term success of such cases. Comprehensive dental care involves evaluating all available restoration options for treating any given patient's condition. The dentist is obligated to present all of these options to the patient without bias. The following case reports provide a perspective from which decision-making occurs before treatment planning is accomplished.
