Resin-retained bridges have been used clinically since the 1970s and offer a more conservative approach to the restoration of edentulous spaces than conventional bridgework. They are easy to place, cheap to fabricate, and have been shown to be cost-effective. Despite this, they are not frequently used in general dental practice and have an exaggerated reputation for premature failure. Since their initial introduction, they have undergone a number of changes to their method of retention and the materials used in their construction. This has resulted in a predictable, aesthetic restoration which, second only to restoration with dental implants, is often the treatment of choice when teeth adjacent to an edentulous space are minimally or not restored.

However, poor patient cooperation during lengthy treatments or patient neglect, especially during patient-intensive treatments, can lead to a range of issues that require distinct approaches to solve.

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the bond strength of three cantilever resin-bonded bridge (RBB) designs cemented with resin cements.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four extracted human mandibular canines with eight teeth per group were used in this study to evaluate the bond strength of cantilever resin-retained bridge designs of the mesh, perforated, and combination of mesh and perforated luted to the prepared lingual surface of canine teeth using resin cement. Debonding was done using Instron universal testing machine by applying load on the mid-buccal region of the pontic and the obtained values were evaluated.
