Abstract:
Reports of bonding failures with resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (commonly called the "Maryland Bridge") are common. Failures are due to individual tooth mobility as much as they are to bonding inadequacy. The incorporation of stress relievers in the design of resin-bonded fixed partial dentures has created a dramatic reversal in bonding failures.
