Abstract
The object of this clinical study was to evaluate the short-term outcome of modified resin-bonded fixed partial dentures which utilizes the original tooth undercuts and different path of insertion of components. Materials and methods: 71 units of modified RBFPDs that were used in 21 patients at the Department of Prosthodontics, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University were evaluated. The follow-up period was up to 25 months, the mean being 7 months. Survival rate, mobility, percussion, probing depth, bleeding on probing, plaque index was recorded and radiographs were taken to monitor alveolar bone loss. Results & Conclusion: Within the limits of this short term retrospective study, it was concluded that: 1. No mechanical failure such as debonding or fracture of the framework was found during the follow-up period. 2. The periodontal apparatus was stable and no clinical change was observed after prosthetic treatment. 3. No significant marginal bone loss was found in the radiographic evaluation.
