(Photos/Provided by Dr. Dov Almog) Author_Dov Almog, DMD Treatment options for restoring missing mandibular incisors _To date, the treatment options for restoring missing mandibular incisors have been frequently reviewed and researched. Historically, the conven- tional approach for replacing mandibular incisors was the utilization of a fixed partial denture (FPD) or removable partial denture (RPD), depending on the number of missing teeth that determined the extent of the prosthesis. Atpresent,giventhefactthatthegrowthindental implants and implant-based dental reconstruction products and services outstripped all other areas in dentistry, the No. 1 treatment choice for restoring missing mandibular incisors would be an implant- supported FPD. Yet, there are situations where the treatment options associated with the restoration of missing mandibular incisors is not as clear. This case report representsapatientinhis30swholostallfourman- dibular incisors subsequent to a sports injury that took place several years ago (Figs. 1a, b). Ultimately, the intent of this case report is to explore the various treatment options for replacing mandibular incisors. Given the specific anatomical complexity,thefutureesthetics,phonetics,occlusion The objectives of this case report are to explore a diversity of treatment options for restoring missing mandibular incisors.
