Drifting of teeth into the edentulous area may reduce the available pontic space; whereas a diastema existing before an extraction may result in excessive mesio-distal width to the pontic space. Although rarely used, loop connectors are sometimes required to address this problem of excessive mesio-distal width pontic space. The loop may be cast from sprue wax that is circular in cross section or shaped from platinum-gold-palladium (Pt-Au-Pd) alloy wire. Loop connectors offer a simple solution to the above mentioned dilemma, involving an anterior edentulous space albeit with the maintenance of the diastema. This article describes the procedure for the fabrication of a loop connector fixed partial denture to restore an excessively wide anterior edentulous space in a patient with existing spacing between all the maxillary anterior teeth.
