Synopsis:
Resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs, so-called Maryland bridges) with two metal retainer wings have been introduced 40 years ago for a minimal invasive replacement of missing teeth. However due to various reasons metal-ceramic, RBFDPs are not considered a comparable treatment modality to implants by most dentists.

Cantilevered anterior RBFDPs with a single ceramic retainer wing were introduced 25 years ago. They provide better esthetics and are less invasive than two-retainer RBFDPs. In the meantime long-term data with bonded zirconia restorations for this minimal invasive treatment option are available. Similar concepts are now also implemented for the replacement of posterior teeth that show promising medium-term outcomes comparable to single tooth implants. This course shows in detail when high-strength zirconia ceramic RBFDPs present a favorable, minimally invasive and less costly treatment alternative to single tooth implants.


Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
  • Establish the correct indication for RBFDPs
  • Adequately prepare abutment teeth for RBFDPs
  • Advise the dental technician regarding the correct design of zirconia RBFDPs
  • Bond reliably to zirconia ceramic
  • Insert zirconia RBFDPs without hazards

Great course on an alternative treatment option that is currently under-utilized. Dr. Kern does a good job showing the clinical tips and tricks to have a successful outcome with this treatment.
