| Abstrakt: | Congenital partial hypodontia is a commonly encountered disorder, presenting a challenge for adolescents seeking treatment, as existing options often come with drawbacks. Among these options, the Maryland Bridge stands out for its accessibility and notable benefits in terms of both strength and aesthetics. This article explores the merits of this treatment modality, supported by a detailed case study demonstrating its successful application. An 18-year-old patient was referred to our hospital with a complaint of missing bilateral maxillary incisors. Upon clinical examination, it became apparent that the orthodontic treatment was done and exhibited the absence of bilateral incisors in the upper arch. Subsequent diagnosis confirmed congenital partial hypodontia. To address the missing teeth, a treatment plan centered around the use of a Maryland Bridge was devised. One of the persistent challenges faced by restorative dentists is devising solutions for congenitally missing lateral incisors. Despite the availability of numerous therapeutic alternatives, none are without their limitations. However, the outcome of the rehabilitation in this case proved to be notably aesthetically pleasing, effectively fulfilling the intended purpose. As a result, this article advocates for the Maryland Bridge as a viable option for patients facing similar dental challenges.
