Abstract

Resin-bonded fibre-reinforced composite bridges provide many advantages over the conventional
bridges or implant treatment in the management of a traumatically or congenitally missing anterior tooth.
Furthermore, there is an increasing demand towards providing a metal free resin-bonded bridges over the alloybased
restorations in order to meet the aesthetic needs especially in the anterior region. Advances in the
adhesive technology and tooth colored materials offer improved bonding system and better aesthetic outcome.
Nevertheless, careful selection of cases to receive this type of approach is also one of the key factor to ensure
the clinical survival of fibre-reinforced composite bridges. This report aims to present the use of fibre-reinforced
composite to construct indirect cantilever fibre-reinforced composite bridges as part of minimum intervention
dentistry.
