title: Resin-bonded fixed partial denture: a contemporary prosthesis.
abstract: This review of the evolution of the resin-bonded fixed partial denture (RBFPD) design, from the original "prepless" restoration to the present prosthesis, requiring careful treatment planning and technical skill, also discusses the materials used to enhance the longevity of this restoration. That, in turn, increases the patient's confidence in both the dentist and the prosthesis itself.
