Case report: a glass fibre reinforced composite resin bonded fixed partial denture

Eur J Prosthodont Restor Dent. 2001 Mar;9(1):35-8.

Abstract

A 55-year-old man was treated with a glass fibre reinforced composite resin bonded fixed partial denture with an increased bonding surface area. The abutments for replacing two maxillary premolars were not prepared and the bonding surface was expanded to the regions of undercut and the labial/buccal surface of the abutments. This was possible by tailoring the mechanical properties of the fibre reinforced composite frame of the resin-bonded fixed partial denture. Two and half years follow-up demonstrated good clinical success for the restoration. This experience encourages development of non-invasive prosthodontic treatment options for transitional fixed partial denture restorations.
