Abstract
Repairing fractured metal-ceramic prosthesis is a treatment alternative that can increase the restoration longevity, preserve dental structure, and/or the integrity of implant components, besides being a simple, low-cost technique. However, clinicians often see restoration repair as a challenge because of the many doubts regarding the procedures required to obtain satisfactory results. Therefore, the motivation to write this article is the need to provide instructions for clinicians dealing with a situation involving fractured porcelain, presenting an intraoral repair technique that can be used in cases of a fractured ceramic veneer of a fixed partial prosthesis. The technique consisted in treating the remaining ceramic surface and applying a microhybrid composite resin following the steps of a protocol that, according to scientific evidence, has promoted high bond strength to porcelain, in addition to being cost effective.
