“…11,42 In the treatment of the present case, the missing lateral incisor was to be managed by a procedure promoted by Kravitz. 42 However, a simple and economical treatment alternative using fewer materials was offered, which is especially useful in countries of low socioeconomic status. In addition, unlike the minimally invasive aesthetic procedure recommended by Malgaj et al, 11 the management protocol included a more restorative approach on healthy teeth adjacent to the missing tooth and can be clinically applied without the need for a rubber-dam.…”

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are conditions that require long-term management and review from infancy to adolescence. Surgical procedures become easier when nasoalveolar moulding (NAM) measures are applied during the neonatal period. Orthodontic treatment provided for these patients during the progressive dentition developmental periods can achieve positive aesthetic and functional results. In patients affected by a CLP, the lateral incisor in the cleft region is usually missing and multidisciplinary prosthodontic rehabilitation of the edentulous space is often required. In the present case report, positive results of NAM, coupled with orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment are presented for a CLP patient who began management during the neonatal period. In addition, a minimally invasive aesthetic restoration is presented as a solution for the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a missing lateral incisor.

“…(Lam WYH, 2019) [18] Preservation of the upper lateral incisor space after orthodontic treatment traditionally requires the use of a retainer with a lateral pontic; A pontic is constructed with fluid composite while the retainer is maintained until the patient is of age for a more permanent restoration. (Kravitz ND, 2020) [17] . Although implants are considered a better treatment option for the rehabilitation of patients with missing anterior teeth, resin-bonded bridges (RBBs) can conservatively restore missing teeth and have therefore gained popularity over the years.…”

Introduction: Adhesive bridges are introduced to the market due to the need to provide more patient comfort and promote minimal invasiveness in restorative dentistry.Objective: Analyze the literature about the different materials that can be used to make a Maryland adhesive bridge. It is particularly analyzed about its manufacture with zirconia, its manufacture with Lithium Disilicate and its manufacture with metal ceramics and finally with PMMA as an alternative to a minimally invasive treatment. Methodology: Qualitative and retrospective systematic bibliographic review, an electronic search was carried out through PubMed, Google Scholar and Elsevier using the terms "adhesive bridge", "minimally invasive", "zirconia" and "E.Max". Results: There is a wide variety of materials for the manufacture of Maryland adhesive bridges such as: Zirconia, which has excellent physical and mechanical properties; Lithium Disilicate with a highly aesthetic property due to its translucency, porcelain metal with its various favorable characteristics and PMMA with its simplicity in manufacture. Conclusions: There are different situations for which the Maryland bridge is indicated, mainly to maintain some space after orthodontic treatment. It is important to have previous knowledge of the protocol indicated for the adhesion of the adhesive bridge and its materials.

“…From a mechanical point of view, these prostheses present a design that is not retentive, and from an aesthetic point of view, when the abutment teeth are very translucent or when there are ample edentulous spaces, the aesthetics may be compromised, since when a metal structure is used, the metal may be visible [2,18]. Therefore, dental practitioners often see RBFPDs as a temporary solution rather than a long-term one [19].…”

The Success Rate of the Adhesive Partial Fixed Prosthesis after Five Years: A Systematic Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective: Evaluation of the success and/or survival rates of resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) reported in the scientific literature with a minimum average observation time of five years. Materials and Methods: Search conducted in Pubmed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases in free-text format and MESH terms, until May 2021. The random-effects model was used for the estimated survival rate, percentage per year of estimated failure, and existing complications for the meta-analysis. Study heterogeneity was assessed by the inconsistency test (I2) and study quality by the Downs and Black scale. Results: Eleven articles were included, with 687 participants and 783 RBFPDs, with a mean observation time of 8.2 years, with success rates mentioned in three articles and survival rates reported in nine articles. A total of 142 failures were reported for 783 prostheses, the most frequent being debonding. The estimated failure rate was between 0.53% and 5.10% per year. The studies were of sufficient quality. In the meta-analysis, the survival rates showed a significant result (p < 0.001), with moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 58.76%). Conclusions: Within the limitations of this research, mainly related to the heterogeneity of the studies and their quality, it seems possible to conclude that RBFPDs are a viable clinical option for the rehabilitation of patients with single edentulous spaces, mainly when using a single retainer and a zirconia-ceramic prosthesis.
