title: [A diastema in patients with a disability; what to do?]
abstract: People with a disability also sometimes lose a (front) tooth. Their closest relatives in particular are concerned that the person they love appears to be 'ordinary, natural and well-cared for' and often consider a diastema to be unacceptable. At the same time, they do not want to expose these patients to a painful, taxing treatment for purely aesthetic reasons. Fibre re-enforced adhesive bridges offer a very good alternative in such cases.
