In recent years, resin bonded metal retainers have been used to replace teeth in a conservative manner. In addition, porcelain laminates or veneers have been used in esthetic dentistry on single teeth in areas that previously dictated reductions of tooth structure. This paper describes a method of replacing a missing lower anterior tooth with an all porcelain bonded retainer.
