  • Title: An immediate resin-bonded bridge using the natural tooth.
    Author: Darbar UR, Hemmings KW, King PA.
    Journal: Dent Update; 1995 Sep; 22(7):288-90. PubMed ID: 8948212.
    Abstract:
    Missing anterior teeth are commonly replaced immediately with partial dentures, but this may cause embarrassing problems and a poor aesthetic appearance. This paper describes a technique for replacing anterior teeth using the natural tooth as a pontic with a resin-bonded cast metal framework. The main advantage of this technique is that a fixed restoration is provided on the same day as the tooth is removed, providing a major psychological benefit to the patient and maintaining the aesthetics. The short-term results are promising- and recent advances in adhesive dentistry mean that the long-term result should be equally as good.
