Acid‐etch retained bridges are relatively easy to rebond after dislodgement. However, retention rates for rebonded bridges reported in other studies are conflicting. This study showed a significantly lower retention rate for rebonded bridges than for originally placed acid‐etch retained bridges. In most cases failure occurred as a cohesive fracture of the luting resin.
