In a longitudinal clinical trial the treatment times needed for the fabrication of Posterior Resin-Bonded Bridges (PRBB's) were recorded and analyzed. From a total of 200 PRBB's with different designs and retention systems, 152 were selected for this analysis. The selected bridges were made by 12 operators: 3 university staff members and 9 general practitioners. The mean treatment time for PRBB's was 80 min. When posterior composite restorations were made in the abutment teeth, the mean treatment time increased by 25% up to 100 min. From the factors which were considered to influence the treatment time, a significant effect was found for "restorations", "operator" and "experience of the operator". The other factors considered, such as "tooth preparation", "retention system", "isolation method", "occlusion", and "location", showed no detectable effect on the treatment time. The results of this study are considered to be useful in further cost-benefit analyses.

D003737	Dental Cavity Preparation	An operation in which carious material is removed from teeth and biomechanically correct forms are established in the teeth to receive and retain restorations. A constant requirement is provision for prevention of failure of the restoration through recurrence of decay or inadequate resistance to applied stresses.

D003766	Dental Occlusion	The relationship of all the components of the masticatory system in normal function. It has special reference to the position and contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth for the highest efficiency during the excursive movements of the jaw that are essential for mastication.
