Purpose: To evaluate the clinical effect of transitional restoration by the fiber-reinforced resin bonded bridge in the anterior zone after implantation.
Methods: Twenty-three cases with missing upper/lower central incisor, lateral incisor or canine were collected and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. One week after implant operation, the patients in the experimental group were repaired with the fiber-reinforced resin bonded bridge; while 2 weeks after implant operation, the patients in the control group were repaired with the removable partial denture. Then, the clinical effect was evaluated. The data was analyzed with SPSS18.0 software package for X(2) test.
Results: Patients in the experimental group were more satisfied with pronunciation than in the control group. The incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05). Patients in both groups were quite satisfied with the esthetic effect(P>0.05).
Conclusions: There are comfortable feeling and satisfactory aesthetic result with the fiber-reinforced resin bonded bridge. It didn't affect wound healing and could meet the requirement of transitional repair after implantation.
