Abstract :Introduction: Hypodontia, particularly the congenital absence of maxillary lateral incisors, often compromises dental esthetics and function, necessitating case-appropriate treatment approaches. Fiber-reinforced adhesive bridges offer a conservative alternative when fixed prostheses or implants are unsuitable, especially in growing adolescents. Case Report: This case report describes the interdisciplinary management of a 16-year-old female patient presenting with a congenitally missing maxillary right lateral incisor following orthodontic treatment. A direct fiber-reinforced adhesive bridge using a braided glass fiber system was fabricated after minimal palatal preparation of the abutment teeth, combined with composite restorations to enhance anterior esthetics. The procedure restored the patient’s smile, function, and phonation while preserving healthy tooth structure. Conclusion: Fiber-reinforced adhesive bridges represent a practical, esthetic, and conservative interim solution for anterior tooth replacement in young patients, offering comfort and repairability until definitive treatment becomes feasible.
