Various methods for adding teeth to existing dentures have been used clinically. Although a direct, single-tooth addition method saves time, it often is difficult to achieve an esthetic appearance when adding several missing anterior teeth with this technique. Indirectly adding teeth may achieve a better esthetic result, but this method is time-consuming. This article describes the pontic-splinted procedure, an indirect method for replacing several anterior teeth and part of the denture base that can save time and, at the same time, help the clinician achieve acceptable esthetics.
