    • Abstract:
      Young patients often times are poor candidates for implant-supported restorations due to ongoing jawbone development. This case report describes a viable restorative option for a 16-year-old patient who had a large cleft defect and a hopeless prognosis for the right lateral incisor. The clinician utilized a combination of a fixed bonded ceramic restoration to replace tooth No. 7 and direct composite resin, including pink composite resin, to restore the symmetry and gingival level of tooth No. 8. This conservative approach allowed for an esthetic outcome while providing the patient a stable and functional restoration.
