Abstract :

The loss of anterior tooth can be hurtful to the patient both psychologically and socially. Fiber reinforced FPD can be a clinical alternative to conventional metal ceramic restoration as it advocates conservative preparation of tooth. It is especially useful for patients who cannot afford high cost of FPD, require it immediately or are periodontally not indicated for conventional FPD.

This is a case report of a patient who reported with missing anterior teeth. Use of conventional FPD in such a situation criticized because modern dental practice revolves around the principles of tooth preservation. So, in such cases it is regarded as best treatment option.
