The RBB Masterclass: Plan. Prep. Prevail.

In an era of minimally invasive dentistry, the resin-bonded bridge (RBB) remains one of the most underutilised yet highly successful restorative options, provided the planning is flawless. This session strips back the complexity of RBBs, bridging the gap between clinical theory and chairside reality. We will critically evaluate the latest literature comparing PFM and all-ceramic systems to determine which material reigns supreme in specific clinical scenarios. From the initial "prep or no-prep" dilemma to the nuances of communicating complex designs to your lab technician, this lecture covers the entire lifecycle of a case. It has been designed to eliminate the guesswork, minimise debonds, and provide patients with aesthetic, long-lasting outcomes.

Aim

To provide a comprehensive, evidence-based roadmap for delivering predictable resin-bonded bridges, focusing on the critical synergy among clinical case selection, precise preparation protocols, and advanced adhesive techniques to ensure long-term restorative success.
