title: Fifteen-year clinical performance of a resin-bonded fixed partial denture seated with a thione primer and a tri-n-butylborane-initiated luting agent.
abstract: This article reports the clinical performance of a resin-bonded fixed partial denture (FPD) made of type IV gold alloy. The retainers were air-abraded with alumina particles and primed with a single-liquid thione priming agent (Metaltite). The FPD was then seated with a tri-n-butylborane-initiated adhesive resin (Super-Bond). After 15 years, the FPD is still functioning satisfactorily. The present materials and techniques are applicable to minimally invasive fixed prosthodontic treatments.
