A two-stage resin-bonded fixed partial denture seated in conjunction with postextraction healing of the alveolar socket: a clinical report.

A patient treatment modality that involved a two-stage resin-bonded FPD was presented in this clinical report. During recovery of the alveolar socket, a direct bonded acrylic pontic was seated with an adhesive resin (Super-Bond C&B Clear). This primary prosthesis provided service for 6 months without trouble and was effective for maintaining the open space and recovery of oral functions. The secondarily seated resin-bonded FPD, which was made of silver-palladium-copper-gold alloy and bonded with a primer for noble alloys (V-Primer) and an adhesive resin (Super-Bond Opaque), has been functioning satisfactorily for more than 5 years. This two-stage procedure is useful in situations that require conservative or periodontal treatment before seating final prostheses.
