Clinical evaluation of resin - bonded bridges

Abstract

This study evaluated resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (FPDs) clinically. Forty patients received 40 resin-bonded FPDs. Two types of luting materials were used, Super Bond Crown and Bridge Material and Degufill SC composite.The metal frame works for Super Bond Crown and Bridge Material were sandblasted only, and for Degufill SC composite were electrolytically etched, Clinical evaluation were performed at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after cementation. None of the prostheses bonded by Super Bond Crown and Bridge Material lost retention, whereas two of the acid etched retainers required replacement after one year, Resin bonded prostheses appear to be favorable alternative to other types of fixed partial dentures.
