This case report describes an immediate interim restoration of hopeless teeth using natural teeth as pontics in patients diagnosed with generalized periodontitis. The loss of a tooth, particularly in the aesthetic zone, can significantly affect a patient's self-esteem and quality of life. In cases of generalized periodontitis, where tooth loss may be unavoidable, immediate replacement of the lost tooth is crucial for both aesthetic and functional reasons. A natural tooth used as a pontic is inherently the correct size, shape, and color, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing result without the need for extensive modification. This method leverages the existing contours and features of the patient's own tooth, providing a seamless transition in the smile. This case report explores the innovative use of a natural tooth as a pontic, bonded to adjacent abutment teeth using fiber-reinforced resin, offering a cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing solution.
