Episode Description:

In this solo episode, Dr. Melissa Seibert dives deep into the resin-bonded fixed dental prosthesis (FDP), also known as the Maryland bridge. This episode is a must-listen for any clinician seeking a minimally invasive, evidence-based approach to tooth replacement—especially in esthetic zones or for younger patients. You’ll learn when to consider a resin-bonded FDP, how to select the right cases, prep design principles, lab communication tips, and adhesive protocols to ensure clinical longevity.

Dr. Seibert also walks through her personal workflow, from diagnosis to final cementation, sharing pearls you can apply in your own practice immediately.
