Abstract: 

Space management while restoring an edentulous space might be quiet difficult sometimes either due to drifting of teeth into edentulous area or an existing diastema before an extraction which may result in excessive mesiodistal dimension of the pontic space. Loop connector fixed partial denture (FPD) may be the simplest and best solution to maintain the diastema and provide optimum restoration of aesthetics. This article describes the procedure for the fabrication of a loop connector FPD to restore an excessively wide anterior edentulous space in a patient with existing spacing between the maxillary anterior teeth.
