Summary:Consideration of a fixed prostheses for replacing a single missing tooth can be accomplished by a traditional fixed partial denture or an implant crown or a fiber reinforced partial denture or an inlay retained fixed partial denture. The main drawback in a traditional fixed partial denture is the removal of a significant amount of tooth structure in order to replace the missing teeth which contradicts De Vans dictum. The more conservative approach to replacing a single missing tooth is either by a fiber reinforced composite bridge or an inlay retained fixed partial denture. New high strength ceramics, with their stiffness and high mechanical properties (i.e., resistance to fracture and/or fatigue), could be considered a right choice in an IRFDP (Inlay retained fixed partial denture) rehabilitation. This case report describes an IRFDP treatment using a CAD/CAM monolithic zirconia for replacing a single missing mandibular molar.
