Course Description
This comprehensive course explores the contemporary application of Resin-Bonded Fixed Dental Prostheses (RBFDPs) as a conservative and effective alternative to dental implants for anterior tooth replacement. Initially introduced in the 1970s, RBFDPs have evolved significantly with advances in adhesive dentistry, ceramic materials, and digital workflows such as CAD/CAM.
Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the principles, indications, and techniques for successful RBFDP placement. The course covers various design options—including cantilever, two-wing, and wingless approaches—with emphasis on case selection, tooth preparation (when necessary), bonding protocols, and long-term maintenance.
Through evidence-based discussions, clinical case reviews, and hands-on demonstrations (if applicable), attendees will learn how to incorporate RBFDPs into their daily practice, particularly for patients where implants are contraindicated due to anatomical, medical, or financial reasons.
Course Objectives
As a result of attending this course, you will be able to:
- Identify ideal clinical indications for RBFDPs.
- Choose appropriate design and material options based on patient-specific factors.
- Apply modern adhesive protocols for predictable outcomes.
- Understand the role of digital technologies in planning and fabrication.
- Improve aesthetic and functional outcomes with minimally invasive strategies.
