The conservative nature of the resin bonded fixed partial denture is the reason it is used. The ability to replace a missing tooth while avoiding aggressive preparation of the abutment teeth is a desirable concept. The use of conservative preparation forms will aid in the long term predictable success of the resin bonded fixed partial denture.
This article describes a procedure for fabricating an optimal provisional restoration before tooth preparation. The procedure involves the fabrication of an indirect-direct provisional fixed partial denture. There are several advantages to this procedure, such as reduced chair time, less heat generated in the mouth, reduced contact between resin monomer and soft tissues, and optimal esthetics.
