【 摘 要 】

Hypodontia of upper lateral incisors is significant aesthetic problem in young people. Ideal solution to this problem would be an implant placement, but there is a problem of unfinished growth and development. It is therefore necessary to have a temporary solution in order to maintain normal stomatognathic system functions and solve aesthetic problems until the final restoration is placed. The aim of this study was to show the possibility of treating hypodontia of permanent upper lateral incisors by creating adhesive bridge in one visit. A 15-year-old patient was referred to the Department for Prosthodontics, School of Dental Medicine in Belgrade with hypodontia of permanent upper lateral incisors. The patient had braces until 14 years of age after which she was rehabilitated with partial denture that was neither aesthetically nor functionally acceptable solution for her and significantly affected her emotional security. The adhesive bridge was made using GC composite fibers and a set of GC composite materials for the purpose of temporary replacement of missing teeth. This treatment provided good functional and aesthetic results. The space for the placement of two endosseous implants is preserved and a period of adaptation positively influenced the patient's social development in sensitive adolescent age.
