Replacement of missing anteriors can be achieved by different options in fixed prosthodontics, including conventional Maryland bridges, implants, etc. Provisional crowns play an important role in protection and maintenance of abutment relations, esthetics and periodontal health till the definitive prosthesis is fabricated. Composite resin is one of the materials used in fabrication of provisional crowns or bridges. Composites reinforced with fibers offer an excellent option in fabricating temporary bridges due to their improved fracture toughness and resistance. This clinical report presents a case where maxillary anteriors were replaced by composite temporary bridge using a direct-indirect method of provisionalization. This technique utilizes most conservative approach restoring esthetics for the time being the definitive prosthesis is fabricated.

Keywords: Esthetics, Temporization, Composite resin.
