title: Anterior fixed partial dentures utilizing the acid-etch technique and a cast metal framework.
abstract: A technique has been described which permits the fabrication and attachment of an anterior fixed partial denture without tooth preparation. The fixed partial denture is attached to the lingual surfaces of the abutment teeth utilizing a composite resin and acid-etched enamel. Conservation of tooth structure and minimal chair time and patient expense are the primary advantages of this technique.
