Resin-bonded bridgework (RBB) is now an accepted alternative to conventional bridgework in specific cases. This article reviews the immediate replacement of two anterior teeth with the resin-bonded technique and describes the use of immediate cantilevered RBB in the aesthetic treatment of a patient with class II division II malocclusion on a moderate skeletal II base. Both maxillary lateral incisors were extracted and immediately replaced with cantilevered RBB. This simple and conservative approach produced an instant solution to a difficult aesthetic problem of proclined lateral incisors. The reported RBB continues to function successfully after 15 months.

Aim: Cast metal-based resin-retained bridgework (RRB) offers a practical, conservative approach when restoring edentulous spaces. This review examines the debonding of cast metal-based RRB, comparing cantilever resin-retained bridgework (CRRB) and fixed-fixed resin-retained bridgework (FRRB) designs taking into context developments in RRB design, construction, and cementation over time.
Methods: An electronic search was conducted through Medline and Embase with the aid of Boolean operators to combine the following key words: "adhesive bridges", "resin-bonded bridges", "resin-retained bridges", "resin-bonded fixed partial dentures", "cantilever", "debond", "fixed-fixed", "decementation", "failure", "success", "outcome", "longevity" and "survival".

Objectives: To compare the success of two different tooth replacement strategies for partially dentate older adults; namely resin bonded bridgework (RBB) provided to restore patients according to the principles of the shortened dental arch concept (SDA) and conventional full-arch rehabilitation with removable dental prostheses (RDPs).
Methods: A randomised controlled clinical trial (RCT) was conducted with partially dentate adults aged 65 years or older. Each patient from the RDP group had all missing natural teeth replaced with cobalt-chromium framework RDPs.

Background: This systematic review aims to evaluate the survival of retaining or replacing deciduous teeth in hypodontia patients with a variety of prosthetic tooth replacement options, to evaluate prognostic factors associated with retaining deciduous teeth, and report on patient based outcomes with these treatment modalities.
Methods: MEDLINE, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Science Direct databases were searched (01/1980 - 08/2017) for studies reporting outcomes associated with retaining or replacing deciduous teeth via prosthetic means in adult hypodontia patients.
Results: Twenty-one articles were included.

After tooth loss, an individual may seek tooth replacement so that his/her function and esthetics could be restored. Clinical prosthodontics, during the past decade, has significantly improved and developed according to the advancements in the science and patient's demands and needs. Conventional options in prosthodontics for substituting a missing single tooth include the removable partial denture, partial and full coverage bridgework, and resin-bonded bridgework.

Unlabelled: Congenital absence of teeth presents a number of clinical challenges in young patients, and little is known about the success rate of restorative dental treatment in these patients. The aim of this study was to conduct a prospective clinical study of the performance of resin bonded bridges in patients with hypodontia.
Methods: A prospective clinical observation study was undertaken in Cork Dental School and Hospital, Ireland.
