Replacing missing teeth is important for restoring aesthetics and function. Implant treatments and traditional prosthetic crown bridge applications are frequently used treatment methods to replace missing teeth. These treatments
are invasive, require multiple chairside, and are costly options. Maryland-like
bridges are among the temporary treatment options for single-tooth loss or
short span. Minimally invasive approaches are increasing in popularity in today’s dentistry. In recent years, the success of non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments has increased with the developments in adhesion techniques
and the improvement of resin-based materials. Fracture strength and resistance
increase when composite resin bridges are used together with fibers. In this
way, fiber-reinforced composite bridges have become an alternative to conventional treatments as a temporary or permanent solution for anterior or posterior single tooth loss or short span. Fiber-reinforced composite bridges come
into prominence because of minimally invasive cavity preparation on abutment
teeth, preservation of pulp and periodontal tissues, and low cost, aesthetic and
functional results in a single session. Missing teeth can be permanently or temporarily rehabilitated with fiber-reinforced composite bridges in patients who
cannot be implanted or treated with traditional prosthetic approaches due to
many reasons.. The aim of this case series is to describe the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of single tooth loss or short span in the anterior and posterior region with fiber-reinforced composite bridge restorations in 3 different
patients.
