The objective of this article is to show a case of fronto-orbital reconstruction with prefabricated polymethyl methacrylate prosthesis. A 35-year-old male with alleged history of trauma following road traffic accident 3 months back reported with unaesthetic scar and deformity in right supraorbital region to us. As there was no functional deformity, the management was aimed at correcting the contour and esthetic only. The correction was achieved by overlaying the defect with a polymethyl methacrylate implant fabricated over a three-dimensional stereolithographically printed rapidly prototyped model. Postoperative phase was uneventful and esthetic outcome was satisfactory. The patient after 4-year follow-up reported with no discomfort and definite improvement in facial contour.

Connection of a tooth to an implant by means of prosthesis has always been debatable. The aim of this review is to summarize and discuss the available information and our experience regarding the connection between tooth and implant in fixed partial denture.Thirty four articles related to survival of implant supported prosthesis (ISP) and tooth implant supported prosthesis (TISP), prosthetic options like rigid connector (RC) or non rigid connector (NRC) and complications such as intrusion of teeth were selected and analysed in order to get some outcome. In addition to this, we addressed some of the issues such as advantages, disadvantages, potential risks while fabricating teeth implant supported prosthesis and also drew few recommendations to gain and facilitate enhanced success rate with teeth implant supported prosthesis.
