title: Resin-bonded bridges. A status report for the American Journal of Dentistry.
abstract: Resin-bonded bridges have been extensively evaluated during the past 20 years. Although there remain certain critical problems to consider, it may be concluded that resin-bonded bridge restorations are a useful alternative prosthodontic treatment. The survival rates have improved and perceptive patient selection with disciplined execution of the technical and clinical procedures will ensure that the resin-bonded bridge is a reliable, conservative option when one or possibly two teeth are replaced. In this review, the clinical limitations of resin-bonded bridges are discussed.
