Upper Lateral Incisor Replacement With Socket Preservation and An Implant After A Failed Resin-Retained Bridge (RRB): A Case Report and Literature Review

The case of a missing incisor in patients due to history of trauma, congenital absence and non-optimal hygiene is common ranging from childhood to adulthood [1,2]. Despite the causes, treating space closure has largely remained similar and unchanged for three (3) decades; a single tooth removable prosthesis, a fixed bridge, (either fixed-fixed design or cantilever winged prosthesis, conventional preparation or resin retained), or with titanium dental implants assisting with rehabilitation of similar anterior sites.
