A Novel, Minimally Invasive Approach to Replacing Missing Teeth: Two Case Reports.

For the replacement of missing teeth, resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) are a routine, minimally invasive option clinicians can use on patients who either cannot or will not move forward with surgical interventions. Advances in materials and design have greatly improved the longevity and prognoses for these prostheses. In some patients, however, debonding remains a clinical problem. In this clinical report, novel RBFPD designs are presented with the aim of improving retention and esthetics while offering short treatment time and minimal preparation without the need for local anesthesia.
