Combining resin-bonded prostheses and removable partial dentures: report of case.

The resin-bonded prosthesis provides an alternative for tooth replacement in that the prosthesis can be combined with other dentures. The prosthesis was used conservatively in this case, with modified abutment teeth to improve the function of the removable partial denture. Decreased expense, shorter chair time, and the noninvasive nature of the procedure make the prosthesis an option for patients with special problems.
