title: Fiber-reinforced composite anterior bridge in pediatric traumatology: clinical considerations.
abstract: This article describes the protocol for creation of a fiber-reinforced composite bridge for temporary treatment of traumatic tooth loss affecting young adult dentition. This non-invasive solution is justified by the time lapse between the end of orthodontic treatment and the moment when the state of maturity of the various tissues makes it possible to install a conventional or implant-based prosthesis.
