The Carolina Bridge is an all-ceramic pontic etched on proximal surfaces and bonded to adjacent
vital teeth with a hybrid composite resin. It is completely reversible in nature because there is no
need for abutment teeth preparation except for a minor roughening of the proximal surfaces of the
abutment teeth. It can be used to replace single missing incisor tooth. This article describes different
treatment modalities for single missing incisors and presents a case report of replacement of a
missing mandibular central incisor with the Carolina Bridge.
