Group 1: Preparation of the mock-up
All bridges of this study were made with the stamp technique. As precondition for this technique a mock-up of the future pontic is made intraorally with composite o
Optibond FL Pimer and Adhesive, Kerr, Bioggio, Switzerland). In case of an adjacent porcelain or gold surface an adhesion protocol with Cojet (CoJet Sand
ESPE–particle size 30 µm, pressure 30 psi), silane (Monobond plus, Ivoclar, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and bonding agent was performed. The adhesive was light cured (Bluephase, IVoclar Vivaden, Schaan, Li

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinical assessment of the status of the DFRC-FPD will be done by the dentist who placed the restoration when patients attend for routine care, recall or when a problem occurrs. The observation period will start with the insertion of the DFRC-FPD. Primary Outcome (Functional survival): The intervention was considered as a ‘survival’ if the type of restoration was still the same. Consequently, repair or replacement of the DFRC-FPD was considered as survival. Whenever a different restoration type was inserted, an abutment tooth extracted or one of these treatments scheduled at the last check-up intervention was defined as failure (primary aim). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Outcome (Success): When the restoration was still in function at the last check-up visit and without any need of therapy, the intervention was defined as success. Whenever the restoration was replaced, repaired, recemented or scheduled for these treatments at the last check-up the intervention was defined as failure . | — |
