Abstract

The provision of resin-retained bridges (RRBs) on abutment teeth that require composite resin build-ups often proves challenging. This article presents a technique, represented through two clinical cases, that aims to reduce some of the issues associated with such scenarios. It describes the simultaneous cementation of the RRB while also undertaking composite resin additions. It showcases the advantages of such a technique – particularly in terms of maximizing enamel surface area available for bonding to the retainer, and thereby potentially improving the longevity of the prosthesis. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Careful design and execution is required when providing resin-retained bridgework.
