Resin-bonded fixed partial dentures: a review of three decades of progress



TA Imbery and EG Eshelman
Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency, Langley Air Force Base, Va, USA.

The resin-bonded fixed partial denture has undergone significant changes in design, materials and tooth preparation since its development in 1973. The selection of resin cement and micromechanical retention have closely paralleled alloy-resin-bonding research. Despite impressive in vitro research results, only 74 percent of the prostheses are still functional at the end of four years. Understanding the limitations, indications and design of resin-bonded fixed partial dentures will result in improved longevity and patient satisfaction.
