The aim of this clinical case is to present a different type of fixed partial denture, as alternative option to the dental surgeon, showing particularities like indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages and technical procedures necessary to its fabrication. The sequential presentation of the realized procedures emphasized the unique aspects of the dental preparation, impression techniques, and cautions during metal structures and ceramic try-in procedures, and esthetic overlay on the metal with composite resin. As a result, it could be observed that the ultraconservative fixed partial denture required lesser removal dental structure, re-established the esthetic and the occlusion of the patient. Finally, it can be concluded that the ultraconservative fixed partial denture is a treatment option to be used in the small prosthetic space with success both mechanically and esthetically.
