Case Study: Adhesive bridges and baby teeth to replace missing teeth

The patient had two congenitally missing posterior teeth adjacent to two teeth (non-permanent milk/baby teeth). Due to the young age of the patient and perfectly healthy neighbouring teeth, implants and conventional bridges could not be used to close the gaps.

Treatment undertaken:

As an innovative solution to the problem, we decided to use the deciduous teeth as anchors for holding the replacement teeth. After a minimally invasive preparation, we bonded two all-ceramic zirconia bridges to the baby teeth to replace the missing premolars.
