Technique Tips - Management of a De-bonded, Fixed-

, BDS, MDentSci, PhD, Clinical Supervisor in Restorative and Periodontology Division, Dublin Dental University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland.Resin-bonded Bridges (RBBs) have been used for the last 40 years with different success rates. The use of RBBs is a conservative approach for replacing missing teeth and gives the patient the advantages of using the fixed prosthesis. Since their introduction, a great deal of effort has been put into their development in order to increase their longevity and clinical use. When a RBB is used, ideally the abutment tooth should be decay- and/or restoration-free. The preparation should be conservative and confined within the enamel.
