Tooth preparation of the distal portion of first permanent molar and second premolar was performed followed by ceramic bridge restoration [Figure 3a]. Radiographic success observed at 1, 3, and 6 months of recall visit indicated the absence of the periodontal ligament widening and bone formation at an extraction site [Figure 3b and c].
