In addition to tooth loss, defects of the alveolar ridge and surrounding soft tissues often compromise functional and esthetic outcomes. When implant therapy is contraindicated or not feasible, treatment should be tailored to the patient\u2032s individual needs. The aim of this case report was to present the prosthetic rehabilitation of a complex maxillary defect and missing teeth in the esthetic zone using a long\u2010span fixed dental prosthesis (FDP).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Report<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 51\u2010year\u2010old female patient was referred to the Department of Prosthodontics, School of Dental Medicine, University of Belgrade, for prosthetic rehabilitation following surgical enucleation of a large cystic lesion in the anterior maxilla. The procedure required extraction of the maxillary incisors and canines, resulting in extensive hard and soft tissue loss in the esthetic zone. The maxillary premolars and first molars were prepared as abutments, and a provisional polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bridge was fabricated. Three weeks later, a definitive porcelain\u2010fused\u2010to\u2010metal FDP was manufactured. The metal framework and ceramic try\u2010ins were used to evaluate fit, oral hygiene accessibility, occlusion, esthetics, and shade before fabrication of the definitive restoration. After glazing, the long\u2010span FDP was cemented. At the 1\u2010year follow\u2010up, the final restoration demonstrated satisfactory function, esthetics, and stability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Long\u2010span porcelain\u2010fused\u2010to\u2010metal FDPs can provide a predictable treatment option for selected patients with a maxillary defect and missing teeth in the esthetic zone when implant therapy is not indicated. Careful treatment planning and individualized prosthetic rehabilitation are essential for achieving favorable functional and esthetic outcomes. Further clinical studies with larger samples and longer follow\u2010up are needed to evaluate the long\u2010term success of this treatment approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/crid\/7652084","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]],"date-time":"2026-10-09T12:31:51Z","timestamp":1791549111000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Rehabilitation of a Maxillary Defect and Missing Teeth in the Esthetic Zone With a Long\u2010Span Fixed Dental Prosthesis: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-6678-2546","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Proki\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics School of Dental Medicine University of Belgrade  Belgrade Serbia  bg.ac.rs"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2007-8852","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefan","family":"Vulovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics School of Dental Medicine University of Belgrade  Belgrade Serbia  bg.ac.rs"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Krcunovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Lab Dk_smilecreator  Belgrade Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-1389-8061","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milo\u0161","family":"Pelemi\u0161","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics School of Dental Medicine University of Belgrade  Belgrade Serbia  bg.ac.rs"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1549-7748","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Mili\u0107 Lemi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics School of Dental Medicine University of Belgrade  Belgrade Serbia  bg.ac.rs"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7860\/JCDR\/2017\/23362.9515"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21474\/IJAR01\/14896"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_2","first-page":"549","article-title":"Reconstruction of Deformed, Partially Edentulous Ridges, Using Full Thickness Onlay Grafts.
