title: Tooth preparations designed for posterior resin-bonded fixed partial dentures: a clinical report.
abstract: Numerous designs for posterior resin-bonded fixed partial dentures have been reported in the dental literature, but a methodical technique is still lacking. A groove, plate, and strut approach involving minimal preparation of posterior abutments to receive a resin-bonded fixed partial dentures is presented. The essential clinical and laboratory procedures are illustrated.
