This report describes a clinical pilot study that monitored a group of 12 patients who have received 14 single tooth replacement experimental restorations made with prefabricated continuous fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) frameworks. Because these restorations represent a purely adhesive restorative system, tooth preparation was not performed. The Kaplan-Meier survival probability at 12 months was approximately 50%. The restoration with the longest service life was a mandibular molar replacement that has remained in service 24 months. With improved survival times, bonded FRC definitive restorations should be plausible.
