Abstract

Bridges are commonly used to replace missing teeth. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the key factors influencing the performance and lifespan of various types of resin-bonded fixed prostheses. Studies comparing different types underscore the importance of achieving a balance between structural integrity and stress distribution. Material selection emerges as a crucial consideration, with zirconia highlighted as a promising alternative for durable solutions. Long-term clinical trials play an essential role in evaluating the performance of resin-bonded fixed prostheses in practice, yet they remain insufficiently available in the literature. In conclusion, this article underscores the versatile nature of resin-bonded fixed prostheses and emphasizes the importance of evidence-based approaches in clinical decision-making. By integrating insights from scientific research and clinical practice, dentists can optimize treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction when performing resin-bonded fixed prostheses.
