Compared with traditional fixed partial dentures, the main advantage of using resin-bonded fixed partial dentures(RBFPDs) include the preservation of dental hard tissues, following the concept of minimal invasive dentistry. In recent years, zirconia RBFPDs have garnered considerable attention because of their aesthetic and high strength. However, debonding has been the main disadvantage of this innovative technique. In consequence, zirconia RBFPDs are used mainly for anterior areas, which bear a small occlusal force. With the development of dental materials science, the use of high-strength zirconia to replace metal may become a trend. This paper investigates the design and bonding technique of posterior zirconia RBFPDs with a clinical case and literature review.
