A resin-bonded overcasting with highly filled composite resin to salvage a broken metal-ceramic fixed partial denture: a case report.
A resin-bonded overcasting made of a silver-palladium-copper-gold alloy with highly filled composite resin was fabricated to salvage a broken metal-ceramic fixed partial denture using a metal conditioner, a silane coupling agent, and an adhesive resin luting cement. This resin-bonded overcasting has been functioning satisfactorily for more than nine years without any problems. The longevity of the fixed partial denture was enhanced through the use of this treatment.
