OBJECTIVES. The rehabilitation of a maxillary lateral incisor by means of a lithium disilicate cantilever bridge is here presented. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The left maxillary central incisor was prepared with a chamfer finishing line. The root of the left maxillary lateral incisor was extracted and an acrylic temporary was placed. After 4 months, the final impression was taken. The lithium disilicate bridge was fabricated by press technique and tried on. After veneering and aesthetic check, the bridge was cemented using a composite cement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS. The 24 months follow-up showed the maintenance of aesthetic and functional integration of the rehabilitation. Lithium disilicate can be used to fabricate cantilever anterior bridges in carefully selected cases.
