Case report: the use of a resin retained bridge with movable joint

The use of resin retained bridge work is commonplace within dental practice. Factors that may affect long term success include the type of metal used and surface preparation, the resin, operator technique, the surface area of the tooth, differing movement of the abutment teeth and occlusal forces. A clinical case is reported in which a resin retained bridge with a movable joint was used to restore missing anterior teeth in a 15 year old girl with a developing occlusion.
