A case series: The use of resin bonded bridges for anterior tooth replacement in special care patients under sedation

Abstract
Background: Resin bonded bridges (RBBs) are a conservative option for replacement of anterior teeth and may be the preferred treatment option for Special Care Dentistry (SCD) patients particularly where they cannot tolerate a denture. Success rates of RBB placement under sedation in SCD have never been investigated; particularly the potential for multiple repeat sedations (bridge construction, fit and potential failure). This information would impact on treatment planning, particularly in cases where best interest decisions are being made. This retrospective case series aims to examine the success of RBB placement for six patients within Birmingham SCD department; all of who required sedation to undergo dental care. The case series explores ‘success’ of placement via quantitative
and qualitative data collection.
