Hard and soft tissue defects can be remarkably optimized through a minor ridge augmentation. Improved positioning splints allow an easy and secure positioning as well as visual inspection of the seating in end-position and complete removal of resin cement excess. Implementing the concept of insertion splints might promote RBFDPs for anterior tooth replacement as it helps preventing bonding errors.
