Vishal Singh, Sumit Singh, Vinay Gupta, Ajit Kumar Sinha

Patients with missing anterior teeth, along with diastema have very limited treatment options to restore the edentulous space. Replacement of single anterior tooth is a complex and challenging procedure that can be accomplished either by implant-supported restorations or conventional porcelain-fused-to-metal or resin-bonded fixed partial dentures. . If an implant-supported prosthesis is not possible, loop connector fixed partial denture may be the simplest and best solution to maintain the diastema and provide optimum restoration of esthetics. . This article presents a case with excessive space in the anterior region treated with a loop connector to achieve ideal esthetic results in the maxillary anterior segment.
Key words: anterior edentulous space, diastema, esthetics, abutment.
