Sažetak
Loss of an anterior tooth represents a serious aesthetic and functional problem. Patients are often psychologically traumatized and prompt treatment is required. Adhesive restorations reinforced with polyethylene fibers represent a fast and efficient chair-side solution for such loss. Also, these restorations are aesthetically adequate and functionally viable. Ribbond® fiber is clinically proven reinforcement system and, because of its properties, is suitable for use in the anterior area. Case reports Three possible treatment procedures are: using a patients' own tooth crown for the reconstruction ; using a denture tooth in the reconstruction ; and, using composite resin for the replacement of the missing tooth. In present repot of cases would be presented clinical procedure and final outcome of all three suggested restorative treatment of single missing anterior tooth reinforced with polyethylene fibers. Comments Adequate results can be obtained with all three methods, but using a patients' own tooth has been shown to be the simplest and most predictable procedure. With a cooperative and aware patient and regular check-ups, adhesive restorations reinforced with polyethylene fibers can act as a semi-temporary or even a long-term solution.
