The design of a two-part acid-etched resin-bonded fixed partial denture.
A new framework design is presented for resin-bonded, acid-etched, fixed partial dentures. This innovative design divided the restoration into two parts, each with a separate path of insertion. The preparation of abutment teeth required minimal reduction and the pontic could not be displaced during function. Thirty-five patients with missing posterior teeth have been treated with this imaginative approach and after approximately 2 years, there have been no debonding failures.
