An old restoration that had to be removed, fig. 1. Only one good tooth remained, the right cuspid. A double posted socket blade was inserted anteriorly and the left cuspid split in half while trying to fabricate a gold post, fig. 2. It was removed and replaced with a bladevent, figs. 3, 4, 5. The remaining tooth was prepared for a full crown restoration and an impression of the tooth and implant posts was taken for the fabrication of the anterior prosthesis. It included several sized horizontal tubes that would be later locked into a "figure eight" lock extending from each cantilevered pontic and locked over the solid arm extending anteriorly from each ramus blade, figs. 6, 7, 8. The anterior bridge was cemented, fig. 9, and carefully occluded, fig. 10.
