One of the basic principles of tooth preparation for fixed prosthodontics is conservation of tooth structure. This is the major advantage of bonded bridge as an alternative to implant retained restorations in the esthetic zone. Especially used for juvenile patient who do not come into consideration for implant therapy?. This article describes the use of an all ceramic resin-bonded bridge as a conservative and esthetic solution for the replacement of 2 mandibular incisors for a 17-year female patient.

This clinical report describes how to achieve a successful rebonding of a debonded porcelain veneer successfully using several procedures such as grinding enamel to eliminate the remaining adhesive from the first bonding and ultrasonic treatment of the veneer’s surface. Care is given the bonding protocol in order to optimize the durability of the interface.

Purpose: To assess the survival rates and incidences of complications of posterior zirconia based fixed dental prostheses. Material and Methods: An electronic literature search of Medline (PubMed) was conducted independently by three reviewers to identify clinical studies from 2006 to 2016 and was completed by a manual search. Key words, inclusion and exclusion criteria were well defined. Results: The search revealed 419 titles and led to the final analysis of 19 full text articles, 11 studies met the inclusion criteria, one was a randomized clinical study with 3 years follow up results. The others were cohort prospective studies. Technical complications included chipping of veneering porcelain which was the most frequent complication. However, biological complications, included: secondary caries, abutment fracture and marginal discoloration. The survival rates of zirconia based short unit FDPs are promising, and for FDPs with long spam, further randomized controlled clinical trials are necessary. An important improvement of the veneering system is required. Conclusion: Short and long term clinical data suggest that posterior zirconia based fixed dental prosthesis may serve as an alternative to metal ceramic fixed dental prostheses in the posterior dentition.

Faced with fractured central incisors, many solutions are available and the practitioner has to choose the appropriate one. Rehabilitation of the compromised teeth number 11 and 21 was performed with lithium discilcate veneers. The purpose of this clinical case is to outline the treatment approach and to highlight the different guidelines to establish function and esthetic using ceramic veneers.
