The concepts of traditional full mouth reconstruction have been reviewed. A practical full mouth rehabilitation technique has been described combining the chairside advantages of the programmed quadrant reconstruction with the laboratory advantages associated with the complete mouth simultaneous rehabilitation.
A procedure has been described for using porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns in place of denture teeth on a removable partial denture. Improved esthetic results are achieved when replacement denture teeth are made simultaneously with, and visually match, adjacent tooth crowns. This procedure provides a superior treatment result, particularly where multiple unilateral anterior teeth are lost and a removable partial denture is indicated.

A technique using natural teeth as pontics for a cast metal resin-bonded prosthesis was described. The patient's periodontally condemned teeth were used for pontics after extraction, endodontic obturation, and preparation for resin bonding to a cast metal framework. The advantages are technique simplicity, esthetics, conservation of natural tooth structure, and reduced laboratory cost.

The strength of bond at the interface was determined when a visible light-cured composite resin is immediately added to a previously cured surface. In general, small particle composites (Aurafill excepted) tend to lose a small amount of strength at the interface, whereas the microfilled and hybrid composites do not.
