  • Title: Use of an alternative pontic foundation technique for a fiber-reinforced composite fixed partial denture: a clinical report.
    Author: Ayna E, Celenk S.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2005 May; 93(5):412-5. PubMed ID: 15867748.
    Abstract:
    This article describes the treatment of a patient for whom a fiber-composite laminate dowel and core and polyethylene fiber were used as a conservative alternative to provide a dowel-and-core and fixed partial denture foundation. The treatment plan included removing the existing restoration on the maxillary right first molar, placing a fiber-reinforced resin dowel and core for retention and reinforcement of the maxillary first premolar, and fabricating a definitive restoration using polyethylene fiber to reinforce the fixed partial denture.
