A new system of adhesive fixed partial denture

The replacement of missing teeth can be accomplished in different ways such as ceramic or metal-ceramic fixed partial dentures, dental implants or resin-bonded fixed partial dentures. Since the existing solutions are not always effective, a new approach is described to ensure adequate retention and satisfactory aesthetics for resin-bonded fixed partial denture with only one element. The authors present a clinical case of the Faculty of Dentistry of Porto – Portugal, showing the rehabilitation of a missing left second premolar with a new two-component system of resin-bonded fixed partial denture, which is bonded to the adjacent teeth. The replacement of one posterior tooth with this two component resin-bonded fixed partial denture may be more efficient and retentive than the classic ones.
