Dr. Dennis Hartlieb presents a step-by-step video demonstrating a conservative technique to replace a congenitally missing lateral incisor for an adolescent patient. A direct composite bridge is fabricated with minimal tooth removal, while yielding an excellent esthetic result. Additionally, a periodontal splinting technique is shown due to the foreshortened roots of the maxillary anterior dentition.
