Immediate cantilevered resin-bonded bridgework: a case report.
Resin-bonded bridgework (RBB) is now an accepted alternative to conventional bridgework in specific cases. This article reviews the immediate replacement of two anterior teeth with the resin-bonded technique and describes the use of immediate cantilevered RBB in the aesthetic treatment of a patient with class II division II malocclusion on a moderate skeletal II base. Both maxillary lateral incisors were extracted and immediately replaced with cantilevered RBB. This simple and conservative approach produced an instant solution to a difficult aesthetic problem of proclined lateral incisors. The reported RBB continues to function successfully after 15 months.
