An interesting case of post‐insertion sensitivity in a patient who had an etched cast metal prosthesis (Maryland Bridge) cemented with a recently marketed resin luting agent is discussed. This case report draws attention to the fact that despite the relative conservatism and simplicity commonly associated with abutment tooth preparation for resin bonded prostheses, dentine exposure should be avoided if possible to reduce the potential for chemical irritation of the pulp by components of the resin luting system.
