Summary

Resin-bonded fixed partial dentures offer a conservative tooth replacement option. Interim treatments like removable or bonded teeth can provide esthetic solutions and maintain position during fabrication.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Dental Materials

Background:

  • Resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) are a conservative prosthetic option for replacing missing teeth.
  • RBFPDs offer advantages over conventional fixed partial dentures, including better tooth preservation.
  • A limitation of RBFPDs is the inability to place a provisional fixed partial denture.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore interim treatment options for patients awaiting resin-bonded fixed partial dentures.
  • To address the need for esthetic and functional provisional solutions during RBFPD fabrication.

Main Methods:

  • Review of techniques for provisional tooth replacement in the context of RBFPD treatment.
  • Discussion of removable and bonded interim tooth replacement options.

Main Results:

  • Interim treatments, such as removable or bonded replacement teeth, can be successfully employed.
  • These provisional solutions offer esthetic benefits and help maintain the position of adjacent teeth.

Conclusions:

  • Provisional treatment is feasible and beneficial for patients undergoing resin-bonded fixed partial denture therapy.
  • Interim solutions ensure esthetics and occlusal stability while the definitive prosthesis is manufactured.
