title: Replacing an anterior metal-ceramic restoration with an all-ceramic resin-bonded fixed partial denture: a case report.
abstract: Since the first resin-bonded fixed partial denture was described, this adhesive technique for splinting mobile teeth has developed into a conservative method for replacing missing teeth. Heat-pressed all-ceramic materials have been introduced for the fabrication of 3-unit fixed partial dentures in the anterior and premolar region. This clinical report describes the replacement of a conventional partial coverage metal-ceramic resin-bonded fixed partial denture with an all-ceramic resin-bonded fixed partial denture in the anterior maxillary area.
