title: Resin-bonded cast coverage for fractured posterior teeth.
abstract: Enamel-dentin fracture without pulpal involvement of intact posterior teeth demands restoration of form and function while preserving as much sound tooth material as possible. A partial-coverage restoration cast in nonprecious metal and air-abraded and bonded to the tooth by an adhesive resin is suggested. The strong bond of the adhesive resin to the enamel and dentin of the tooth and to the air-abraded metal allows for simple fabrication of a cast partial coverage that requires only minimal tooth preparation.
