  • Title: A seven-and-a-half-year survival study of resin-bonded bridges.
    Author: Creugers NH, Käyser AF, Van't Hof MA.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1992 Nov; 71(11):1822-5. PubMed ID: 1401445.
    Abstract:
    A clinical trial, concerning 203 resin-bonded bridges (RBBs), was performed for investigation of the influence of retainer-type and cementation materials on the survival of these restorations. The survival rates after a 7.5-year follow-up were 75% for anterior RBBs and 44% for posterior bridges. Etched metal RBBs (E-bridges) were significantly more retentive than perforated RBBs (P-bridges); the survival rates were 78% and 63%, respectively. With respect to the cementation materials, Clearfil F, in combination with E-bridges, had the best overall survival (89%, anterior and posterior). Maxillary anterior RBBs were more susceptible to failure than mandibular anterior RBBs.
