Abstract

Various resin-bonded bridges are available and documented in the literature for many years as both temporary and permanent restorations for single missing anterior tooth and posterior tooth. All of the resin-bonded fixed partial prostheses require some amount of tooth preparation, and as we are practicing more conservative approaches toward restoring single missing teeth, a CAROLINA BRIDGE, which requires no significant tooth preparation making it an excellent choice as an interim fixed prosthesis. The success of this prosthesis completely depends upon the interproximal surface area.
