Replacement of missing mandibular central incisor is difficult challenge in esthetic dentistry. Resin bonded bridges or maryland bridges can be considered as a treatment of choice in such conditions, which restore the oral function and esthetic of the patient. Maryland bridge preparation requires minimal preparation of the tooth and the bridge can be attached to the periodontally sound adjacent teeth.The combined use of polyethylene fibre and resin composite help achieve durable and functional result.This case report describes the case of esthetic restoration of a young women with midline spacing of mandibular anterior teeth.

To examine & assess how varied InterligTM glass fibre placement & orientation affect fracture resistance of large class II cavities in maxillary premolars -An In Vitro study. Class II (MOD) cavities were organized with uniform dimensions on 50 extracted human maxillary premolars, and samples were erratically distributed into 5 groups (n = 10 each) as follows: Group I contains composite materials; Group II contains composite + horizontal Interlig placement on the gingival & pulpal floors; Group III contains composite + horizontal Interlig placement only on the pulpal floors; Group IV contains composite + vertical Interlig placement on the gingival & pulpal floors; and Group V contains composite + Interlig chips. Fracture resistance of all samples was tested using universal testing machine following restorations and the thermocycling process. Under a stereomicroscope, the fracture modes were examined. One-way ANOVA & Tukey test were used to analyse data, with significance values of P 0.05. The fracture strength of control group was 736.8640 N while it was 1233.4480 N for group 2, 1223.2260 N for group 3, 1185.0440 N for group 4 and 797.5600 N for group 5. Fracture strength of group 5 was more than other groups except for group 1, there was no statistically substantial modifications. Fortification of composite with fiber does upsurge fracture resistance of wide Class II mesio-occluso-distal premolars cavities significantly.
