Indirect resin-bonded fibre-reinforced composite anterior bridge: a case report
1Dental School, Faculty of Health Sciences, The University of Adelaide, South Australia.
Abstract:
In recent years fibre-reinforced resin composites (FRCs) have gained increasing acceptance in mainstream prosthodontics as viable alternatives to alloy-based restorations. A combination of good aesthetics and fracture toughness validates their use in a diverse range of clinical applications. In this case report an indirect resin-bonded fibre-reinforced composite anterior bridge incorporating a novel design is described. At 24-months recall the prosthesis was problem free and the patient was very happy with the treatment outcome. While definitive long-term data about their clinical performance is scarce, fibre-reinforced resin composite prostheses appear to have a worthwhile role in the conservative treatment of short edentulous spaces.
