A resourceful dentist replaces a central incisor in a day.
As per patient, bonded composite pontic to #7 and #9 is 12 years old. It was done intraoral using Ribbond as a fiber reinforcement. Bridge was holding strong until her grandchild
bumped the pontic with his head.

Fig. 1: Pontic is loose, but held in place by the intact Ribbond.
Fig. 2: Look closely and you can see the Ribbond fibers at the
mesial lingual of #8. Composite has chipped away, but the Ribbond
is holding strong.
Fig. 3: All caries removed from #7. Left with an apple core prep.
Fig. 4: Greater Curve “Wide” placed over #7.
Fig. 5: Matrix has been cut back for access, and secured with
Triad Gel.
Fig. 6: Matrix was held in place at the distal while my assistant
light-cured the first increment of flowable. This was necessary
because the matrix at the cut away contact opening would not lie up
against the mesial of #6.
Fig. 7: Look closely and you can see the indent of the blade of
the composite instrument. Matrix is now sealed against the mesial
of #6.
Fig. 8: Filtek Supreme Ultra dentin shade 3.5 completes the base.
Fig. 9: A2 body is placed over the incisal two-thirds.
Fig. 10: Leave the matrix in place while doing the initial cut
back. Cutting both stainless and composite will prevent accidental gouging.
Fig. 11: #7 completed.
Fig. 12: Greater Curve set up for tooth #9.
