title: From the drilling template to the temporary restoration.
abstract: The temporary restoration of single-tooth gaps in the esthetically demanding anterior region represents a major challenge to the dentist and his/her team. The possibility of restoring single-tooth gaps after implantation is discussed in this paper, and we describe how a computer-milled drilling template made of composite can be converted with simple means into an esthetically attractive adhesive bridge.
