Compend Contin Educ Dent. 2003 Sep;24(9):688-90, 692, 694 passim.

Abstract

Economic, esthetic, and concerns of tooth preservation are important when considering bonded composite resin for the partially edentulous patient's prosthetic rehabilitation. This article has described the clinical success of the use of bonded composite resin in removable prosthodontics. Composite resin may be used in daily clinical practice for the restoration of abutment teeth in contour, vertical support, and re-establishment of a patient's vertical dimension.
