Description

Abstract

The resin bonded fixed partial denture serves to be a fantastic solution for replacing missing teeth particularly when minimal tooth preparation would be desired. When opting for a Resin bonded fixed partial denture, clinicians should consider the method of fabrication [direct or indirect], the design [cantilever or fixed-fixed], and the material to be used. These decisions are affected by various clinical and aesthetic factors such as connector space, tooth position [anterior or posterior], patient preferences, and the dentists skills. Several materials can be used in the fabrication of resin bonded fixed partial denture such as metal alloys, all ceramic systems, fibre reinforced composites, and zirconia. This review article focuses on the different material choices available for resin bonded fixed partial denture fabrication, enumerating their properties ,advantages, limitations and clinical applications. 1, 2, 6, 8 ,10,13
