M. Wood et al., RESIN-BONDED FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES .1. PROPOSED STANDARDIZED CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION, The Journal of prosthetic dentistry, 76(4), 1996, pp. 363-367
Since etched cast resin-bonded prostheses were introduced in 1980, man
y articles have been written about them, Most state that the reported
clinical success of these bonded restorations has been based primarily
on the longevity of the bonding, For a comprehensive evaluation, howe

ate the periodontal response, The proposed standard method provides a
consistent and comprehensive evaluation of resin-bonded prostheses tha
t is applicable for researchers and clinicians alike.
