Abstract

In modern society, there is a heightened emphasis on aesthetics and physical appearance, with social media playing a significant role in shaping perceptions. Among many complex prosthodontic situations posing difficulty in obtaining optimum esthetics, rehabilitating the anterior region, especially in cases with diastema, presents a complex prosthodontic challenge with regards to prognosis in terms of maintenance of tissue health in that region as well as achieving aesthetics. Different treatment modalities such as implant supported prosthesis, conventional fixed partial denture and removable partial denture are available for treatment of such a patient. Problems arise when we encounter a situation with large midline diastema with generalized spacing and missing anterior teeth. Such a situation poses difficulty to restore satisfactory esthetics. This case report presents a clinical situation with excessive diastema space and missing anterior teeth with generalized spacing which has been successfully restored with loop connector fixed partial denture to restore desired aesthetics.
