title: Single visit replacement of maxillary canine using fiber-reinforced composite resin.
abstract: Missing a canine is of serious concern in social life of a patient in most of societies. While conventional fixed partial dentures and implant-supported restorations may often be the treatment of choice, fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) resins offer a conservative, fast and cost-effective alternative for single and multiple teeth replacement. This clinical report presents two cases where FRC technology was successfully used to restore canine edentulous area in terms of esthetic-cosmetic values and functionality.
