The aesthetic challenges of single tooth replacement: a comparison of treatment alternatives.

Several options are currently available to address the challenge of restoring a single tooth in the maxillary anterior region. To select the most appropriate treatment option for each patient, every case should be evaluated individually and all available options reviewed. The learning objective of this article is to review the treatment options and the selection of appropriate treatment modalities. The soft tissue contour around pontics and implants is discussed for efficiency, predictability, and aesthetic excellence. Three clinical cases illustrate and document three different treatment modalities in the maxillary anterior region--a single tooth implant-supported restoration, combined with porcelain laminate veneers; an adhesive bridge, combined with a porcelain laminate veneer; and a conventional porcelain-fused-to-metal bridge.

Modified porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations and porcelain laminates for anterior aesthetics.

Since the late 1950s, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations have remained a standard modality for rehabilitation of anterior dentition. This article discusses recent modifications to improve aesthetics, using clinical cases to present the multifaceted potential of this type of restoration. Color and contour are discussed. The use of a combination of laminate veneers and PFM restorations is presented in cases where the crown restorations of the adjacent teeth are not necessary, but color and contour require enhancement to achieve an aesthetic result. The learning objective of this article is to review the utilization of the improved porcelain laminates and the modified PFM crowns.
