Abstract
The most common traumatic injury encountered in a pediatric dental set up is avulsion. Loss of permanent anterior teeth at a
young age can have an impact on the psychological development of the child. Reimplantation if not possible, the anterior tooth can
be restored with either removable or fixed prosthesis depending on the completion of the growth. To overcome the limitations
of removable prosthesis, temporary fixed prosthesis can be an option in restoring the esthetics and functions when growth is not
completed. Maryland bridge is an ideal option as a fixed temporary prosthesis in such patients.
