Fibre-Reinforced Direct Bridges: New Techniques for Success

Fibre-reinforced direct bridges (FRDB’s) have shown good performance in clinical applications, capable of overcoming functional masticatory loading with a more biomimetic behavior than rigid metallic or full ceramic prostheses. Its retention relies on adhesive capacity which allows a lower tooth structure removal than conventional alternatives, as minimal or no sound tooth structure preparation is needed on the abutment. During this CE webinar, we will review:• The importance of an alternative option to provide missing tooth• Awareness regarding the absence of well established clinical protocols for fibre-reinforced bridges• Share a brief explication about the 4 key parameters that guarantee the success of fibre-reinforced bridges: fibre selection, cavity design, framework design and pontic design• Speak about what I consider the “invincible marriage” in fibre reinforced bridges fabrication• Clinical workflow of the long-term provisional and definitive fibre reinforced direct bridge
