The Resin Bonded Bridge is a very conservative and relatively simple alternative to conventional fixed bridgework. This short presentation covers the history of these bridges and how they evolved from a more complex metal-framed design, to the more modern and simpler Zirconia-based construction. The presentation provides guidelines on how to prepare, provisionalize and bond these restorations to place – for both metal and zirconia framed bridges.
