- Abstract
Aim: When young patients are congenitally missing anterior teeth, different treatment modalities can be used to complement the dental arch. This article proposes a new treatment modality for the replacement of anterior teeth, the cantilever contact‐point resin bonded bridge (CCP‐RBB). Materials and Methods: In this proof of principle study, CCP‐RBB's delivered by one operator were clinically assessed. Patients who were missing maxillary incisors and had suitable intra‐oral conditions for a contact‐point cantilever RBB were included. Three cases are presented to describe all adhesive steps. This proof of principle clinical study is presented with up to 60 months follow‐up of the cantilever contact resin bonded bridges. Results: A total of 19 CCP‐RBB's were evaluated after a mean period of 29.8 months. None of the restorations exhibited failure, carious lesions or fractures during the follow‐up periods, demonstrating an absence of restoration debonding or the need for repair. Conclusion: The new cantilever contact‐point resin bonded bridge exhibited an excellent treatment modality without failure or debonding up to 5 years. More and extended duration in vivo studies are needed to evaluate this new treatment modality. Clinical Significance: In this proof of principle the new cantilever contact‐point resin bonded bridge obtained excellent results up to 5 years of clinical follow‐up.
