[Design of bond cast bridges]. / Primjena ljepljenih (Maryland) mostova.

A technique of etching was employed in 50 patients for bridge retention. The Rexillium III (Jenevie Industries, Wallingford Co.) alloy and Comspan bond (L. D. Caulk Co., Milford Del.) were used. Therapeutic results obtained with adhesive (etched) bridges depend on a variety of factor: careful and accurate indication, precise work plan, minimal preparation of the supporting tooth, appropriate method of retention of the attachment metal portion, and the type of bond and of dental alloy. Clinical application of bond cast bridges has a quite good prognosis. A prolonged period of observation should provide more data on the behavior of such appliances in the oral cavity and allow us evaluations.
