Congenitally missing tooth is one of the most common anomalies in human dentition. The treatment options of lateral incisor agenesis are closing the space with orthodontic treatment, implant treatment, conventional fixed dental prosthesis (FDPs) and resin-bonded fixed dentures (RBFDs). RBFDs are used frequently for single tooth absence in the anterior region due to their minimal invasive properties, high clinical success and patient satisfaction. With the development of new and stronger materials, RBFDs with metal framework have been replaced by glass ceramic, lithium disilicate, fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) and zirconia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of CAD/CAM single-retainer monolithic zirconia ceramic RBFDs which cemented with two different resin cements.
