An innovative fixed partial denture design for restoring a posterior edentulous space is described. The distal retainer is conventionally luted with a zinc phosphate cement, and the mesial retainer is luted with a resin cement. Contingency planning, which involves placement of a nonrigid connector between the pontic and the distal retainer, allows recementation of the resin-luted segment if the resin bond fails.

D016379	Denture, Partial, Fixed, Resin-Bonded	A commonly used prosthesis that results in a strong, permanent restoration. It consists of an electrolytically etched cast-metal retainer that is cemented (bonded), using resins, to adjacent teeth whose enamel was previously acid-treated (acid-etched). This type of bridgework is sometimes referred to as a Maryland bridge.
