The loss of anterior teeth can be psychologically and socially damaging to the patient. Despite a wide range of treatment options available, traumatized teeth may be inevitably lost on certain occasions. Although an anterior tooth has mechanical functionality, it is the compromised facial esthetics associated with tooth loss that is the patient's primary concern. Immediate esthetic replacement of the missing tooth is required in such cases. This replacement can be temporary, semitemporary or permanent in nature. The abutment teeth can be conserved with minimal or no preparation, thus keeping the technique reversible, and can be completed at chair side thereby avoiding laboratory costs. It can be used as an interim measure or a definitive prosthesis. This paper describes the replacement of a right mandibular lateral incisor using a glass fiber reinforced ribbon with the avulsed natural tooth crown as a pontic.Keywords

Obstructive sleep apnea, a sleep disorder, is becoming more prevalent and requires prompt and effective treatment by the dental and medical specialties. Pharyngeal airway narrowing is a commonly described characteristic in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) patients. Conservative treatment modalities (ie, intraoral devices that prevent or minimize airway obstruction by the tongue) are recommended for treating mild to moderate forms of OSA. This case report demonstrates the use of a simple intraoral device designed on the Erkodent system, in the management of OSA.Keywords
