OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the clinical outcome of CAD/CAM zirconia-ceramic resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) with a cantilevered single-retainer design. METHODS Thirty anterior zirconia-ceramic RBFDPs fabricated with the Cerec CAD/CAM system were inserted using either a phosphate monomer containing resin (Panavia 21 TC; N = 16) or an adhesive bonding system with a phosphoric acid acrylate primer (Multilink-Automix with Metal/Zirconia primer; N = 14). RESULTS During a mean observation time of 64.2 months, one debonding occurred in each group. Both RBFDPs could be rebonded successfully resulting in a five-year survival rate of 100%. CONCLUSIONS Independent of the bonding system, cantilevered zirconia-ceramic RBFDPs showed promising results during the first five years. (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01411592). CONCLUSIONS Single-retainer zirconia ceramic RBFDPs present an alternative treatment option offering good esthetics, a minimally invasive preparation, a high biocompatibility and can even be used to treat juvenile patients who do not yet come into consideration for implant placement. No significant influence of the bonding system used has been detected so far.

D003776	Dental Porcelain	A type of porcelain used in dental restorations, either jacket crowns or inlays, artificial teeth, or metal-ceramic crowns. It is essentially a mixture of particles of feldspar and quartz, the feldspar melting first and providing a glass matrix for the quartz. Dental porcelain is produced by mixing ceramic powder (a mixture of quartz, kaolin, pigments, opacifiers, a suitable flux, and other substances) with distilled water.
