case_images: The putty index was made over the same for fabrication of provisional restoration [Figure 3a]. Since it is a hybrid Maryland bridge, full veneer preparation of maxillary left lateral incisor and lingual window preparation of maxillary right central incisor was carried out in patient's mouth [Figure 3b]. The final impression was made using addition silicone putty and light body (LB) elastomeric impression material (Avue Gum Putty and LB: Hydrophilic Vinyl Polysiloxane Impression Material) [Figure 3c]. Acrylic Crown and Bridge Material) using direct technique. After polymerization, adequate trimming and polishing was done and provisional restoration was cemented using temporary luting material (Ammdent Temp-Ting Temporary Luting Material) [Figure 3d]. The metal try in was carried out in the patient's mouth [Figure 3e] after which the conventional porcelain layering, firing, glazing, finishing, and polishing was done [Figure 3f].

case_images: The final prosthesis was evaluated for marginal fit and occlusion, initially on cast and then in patient's mouth [Figure 4a-c]. The bonding agent was applied and the prosthesis was cemented using dual cure resin cement (Dental avenue Avue nano core dual) and cured using light curing unit [Figure 4d].

case_images: The lingual window preparation was done in maxillary left central incisor and canine, followed by final impression and fabrication of master cast same as in Case 1 [Figure 5d]. The putty index was made with clear heavy body elastomeric material (Poly Vinyl Silicone Clear LB - ChemiSil [Korean]) which allows blue curing light to pass through the material [Figure 5a]. An injecting tip was attached to the putty index for injecting the composite material [Figure 5b]. The putty index was placed in the patient's mouth and flowable composite was injected using the tip attached and was light cured [Figure 5c-f].

Utilizing CAD technology, the preparations were delineated and the pontic was designed [Figure 6b and c]. Thereafter, grapheme-based polymer disc (G-CAM Disc) was incorporated and the prosthesis was dry milled in Dentsply Sirona-inLab MC X5 milling machine (Dentsply Sirona Global headquarters, Charlotte, NC 28277, USA) [Figure 6d]. The prosthesis was then stained and glazed with light curing materials and cured and assessed initially on cast and then in patient's mouth, followed by cementation using resin cement similar to Case 1 [Figure 6e and f].
