title: [Repair and revision 5. Failures and repair of resin-bonded bridges].
abstract: This article describes a number of aspects dealing with debonding, recementation and patients' satisfaction in the treatment with resin-bonded bridges. Experiences from two large clinical trials are reported. It was found that rebonded bridges were less successful than the originally bonded bridges. However, since the functional survival rate was significantly higher than the original survival rate, together with the relative low cost of recementation, it is advised to recement debonded bridges. After multiple debonding recementation can be questioned. Multiple debonding is considered to point to an inadequate indication of this type of fixed prostheses. Debonding of bridges did not alter the patients' satisfaction. This might be caused by the fact that the possibility of failure was explained to the patient when informed consent was obtained.
