Abstract: For the replacement of an anterior tooth lost due to trauma or a periodontal diseases, a range of treatment approaches exists, including implants and conventional Maryland bridges. The integration of fibers in composite resins significantly enhances their resistance to fractures. Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) bridges present a promising alternative to traditional prosthetic techniques. Opting for FRC bridges presents a conservative approach when compared to conventional fixed dental prostheses or implant treatments. This technique is characterized by its minimal invasiveness and reversibility, often allowing completion within a single visit. This article is focused on presenting two clinical cases demonstrating the successful replacement of a single tooth using a FRC bridge.
