This paper's objective is to describe a simple, economical and fast method to replace a single tooth. Utilizing an indirectly fabricated composite resin framework reinforced with polyethylene fiber and the existing tooth as pontic. This tooth can be the natural tooth or the restorative crown. In addition, this particular design allows for exact repositioning of the coronal part of the extracted tooth in its original intra-oral 3-dimensional position. This chairside technique does not require laboratory involvement.
The aim of this article is to describe a technique derived from the premachined cylinder luting technique with the goal to predictably fabricate a highly precise master cast. An impression can be taken directly at implant level or, with some technique modification, at the abutment level. Concurrently, multiple techniques can be employed to fabricate the final framework with the assurance that a framework that fits the cast will fit in the mouth. This predictability improves the workflow of the restoring dentist and laboratory technician since multiple framework try-ins and adjustments are eliminated.
