   Abstract

Fibre reinforced prosthesis is one of the successful modalities of fixed tooth replacement providing benefits to the patient that result from the natural esthetic appearance of a metal free prosthesis, the inherent adhesive nature of polymer materials, good flexure strength and other desirable physical characteristics. This article describes the fabrication of a fibre reinforced composite anterior fixed prosthesis for missing upper left lateral incisor using Vectris unidirectional fibres and Targis pontic and the clinical procedure of bonding the prosthesis in the oral cavity.
