title: Conservative inlay fixed partial denture: a clinical and laboratory technique.
abstract: Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) fixed partial dentures (FPDs) offer a clinical alternative for the restoration of single missing teeth and short-span posterior and anterior FPDs. This treatment modality is conservative and cost-efficient. The continuous improvement of adhesives and resin-based composite systems makes this type of restoration successful with good esthetic and functional results. This article reports the case of a patient who received an FRC FPD as a treatment modality and illustrates the clinical procedure as well as a new laboratory technique utilizing a clear matrix for the fabrication of the prosthesis.
