“…The failures of RBFPDs are usually less catastrophic than failures with conventional FPDs . The main advantages of RBFPDs are conservation of tooth structure, reduction of pulpal morbidity, and use of supragingival margins.…”

“…A recent update by the same group published in 2017 estimated a 91.4% survival of RBFPDs after 5 years and 82.9% after 10 years . Miettinen et al reported an estimated annual failure rate of 4.6% for metal frameworks, 4.1% for FRC frameworks, and 11.7% for all ceramic RBFPDs . Chen et al in his review found that all‐ceramic RBFPDs had an estimated 5 year survival rate of 91.2% …”

Objectives To assess and compare the 5‐year success rate of resin‐bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) fabricated from different materials. Methods An electronic search on 3 databases from January 1965 to March of 2017 was done for human randomized clinical trials (RCTs), and prospective and retrospective cohort studies. The key words used in the search were: Bridge OR bridges OR fixed partial OR fixed dental AND resin bonded OR Maryland OR ceramic bonded. Quality assessment was done using the Newcastle‐Ottawa scale. Success was defined as the RBFPDs remaining in situ and not having experienced debonding, biological failures, or mechanical failures at the examination visit. Results Meta analyses of the included studies showed an estimated 5‐year success rate of 88.18% for the metal framework RBFPDs and 84.41% for the nonmetal framework RBFPDs. The estimated 5‐year success rate for each nonmetal material category was 92.07% for zirconia, 94.26% for In‐Ceram alumina, and 84.83% for fiber‐reinforced composite. The failure rate was not statistically significant among the single, double, and multiple retainers RBFPDs (P > .05). Technical complications were the main reason for failures. Conclusion The 5‐year clinical performance of RBFPDs is similar to the performance of conventional fixed partial dentures (FPDs) and implant‐supported crowns. Clinical Significance Clinicians should consider using RBFPDs more often because their clinical performance is similar to the performance of conventional FPDs and implant‐supported crowns.

“…The minimum connector dimensions, which vary according to the types of ceramics used, need to be respected to ensure sufficient rigidity and strength [16]. Although all ceramic resin bonded prostheses offer superior aesthetic potential compared to their metal base counterparts, the brittle nature of the ceramics does not permit intact removal for reuse whereas removal by mechanical tapping and recementation is possible with metal-based prostheses.…”

“…CAD/CAM fabrication can be a cost-effective alternative to a laboratory-manufactured, long-term provisional prosthesis. Figures demonstrated the utilization of CAD/CAM technology for the construction of full arch zirconia, implant supported fixed maxillary and mandibular prostheses [13][14][15][16]. Figure 5a showed the intra-oral teeth set up try-in of the full arch implant supported prostheses.…”

“…An analysis of published data on resin bonded bridges revealed that all-ceramic frameworks had the highest annual failure rates at 12% compared to 5% for metal-framed and 4% for fibre-reinforced. Given that all-ceramic bridges performed least well and the most frequent complications of all-ceramic bridges was fracture of the framework (57%) [2].…”

Objective: Zirconia is increasingly being used in restorative dentistry but its removal is often a difficult procedure due to its resistance to cutting with conventional diamond burs. Zirconia cutting burs have been developed and this study aims to compare 4 such burs. Methods: 35 experienced restorative dentists selected from our Practice Based Network (PBN) were asked to evaluate the cutting of a 1 mm groove into zirconia using 4 burs A (Meisinger), B (ZR2-1 experimental bur from DIATECH), C (Komet) & D (DIATECH Z-Rex, a bur designed with enhanced bonding of diamond grit to bur shank). Responses regarding cutting time, performance and wear were recorded. Results: For best cutting times and also overall performance D performed best and C the worst, with little difference between burs A and B. Bur C also performed least well for wear on the bur. Conclusion: The newly designed zirconia cutting bur DIATECH Z-Rex with enhanced bonding of diamond grit performed best in the analysis by the 35 dentists.

A review of the success and failure characteristics of resin-bonded bridges

Abstract: All types of resin-bonded bridges provide an effective short- to medium-term option, with all-ceramic performing least well and having the least favourable mode of failure. The methods of failures were different for different bridges with metal frameworks performing the best over time.
