A total of 107 bonded bridges could be re-evaluated after a mean period of 2.3 years and a maximum of 5 years. The preparation of mechanical retentive aids, such as grooves and bores resulted in a significant reduction of failure rates after one year. Electrolytical etching or silicoating of the CoCr restorations failed to have any effect on the failure rates of those bridges that were provided with adequate mechanical retention.
