The single retainer fixed partial denture is the treatment of choice for single tooth defect, and excellent clinical outcomes have been reported in basic researches and case reports. Since the dramatic improvement of bonding technology has been recognized, the bonding technique established for conventional bonded fixed partial dentures (two abutment type), which are covered by health insurance in Japan, is also important for single retainer fixed partial denture. Furthermore, with the development of CAD/CAM technology, high-density sintered zirconia has become the mainstay of fixed partial dentures, and we believe that the use of zirconia for single retainer fixed partial denture will expand and that a good prognosis can be expected.
