Abstract
The aim of any prosthesis is to restore function and aesthetics by rep lacing the missing tooth with minimal risks to adjacent tissues. The o ptions presently available to the patient for the replacement of a mis sing single tooth include the removable partial denture, partial and f ull coverage bridgework, resin-bonded bridgework and the single-tooth implant prosthesis. The relative merits and guidelines for successful application of these treatment modalities are presented.
