ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the success of the resin-bonded cingulum rest seats (RBCRS) supporting removable partial dentures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-six patients who had been treated with RBCRSs were recalled and examined. RESULTS: None of the patients who had RBCRSs placed on their teeth experienced debonding, and none of the teeth showed clinically significant signs of wear to the rest seats. CONCLUSIONS: The use of RBCRSs to support removable partial dentures is a highly successful method of treatment.

Two composite resins, bonding agents, surface treatment agents, dental porcelains, and nickel-chromium porcelain bonding dental casting alloys were used to test shear bond strengths of composite resins bonded to metal and porcelain. Bond strengths to porcelain were greater than to metal and to oxidized metal were greater than to machined metal. Significant differences were found between types of porcelains and casting alloys.

Some basic principles for preparation of teeth to receive resin-bonded retainers is presented. Proper preparation of tooth surfaces will enhance retention and reduce overcontouring of the completed prosthesis.
