Authors' recommendations:
There is very scarce evidence to compare the longevity between resin-bonded bridges and conventional bridges. The limited evidence identified showed that conventional bridges have a higher survival rate as compared with resin-bonded bridges. Survival rates for all-ceramic resin-bonded bridges were reported in one study, but no comparisons with metal and ceramic bridges were made. No information about other advantages or disadvantages of resin-bonded bridges or 100% ceramic bridges was identified. Limited information about indications for use of resin-bonded bridges was identified. This lack of information may be a consideration for decision-making.
