Abstract

This case report describes a resin-bonded bridge with a specific design of minimal tooth. A patient came to a dental clinic for a fixed replacement of her upper left premolar tooth. Adjacent teeth are sound clinically. It is very challenging to prepare the adjacent teeth as conservatively as possible without compromising the bond of the bridge to the tooth structure. The patient was delighted with the treatment outcome. The survival rate of resin-bonded bridge remains uncertain. Case selection, bridge design, and clinical and laboratory procedures may become the crucial factors in increasing the outcome.
