SUMMARY
▸Anterior resin bonded prosthesis has no typical standard design of resin-
bonded prosthesis yet.
▸Posterior resin-bonded prosthesis design has generally been a standard D-
shaped structure.
▸Resin-bonded retainers with additional retentive structures is used to splint
abutment teeth, including pathological mobile teeth.
TEXT
▸Although resin-bonded overcastings conventional design has not been
established yet, it is usually easy to add mechanical structures.
