Screw-retained ceramic-veneered, monolithic partial ISFDPs have long-term survival suggests a new study published in the Journal of Prosthodontics
A study is done to assess the clinical performance of screw-retained, ceramic-veneered, monolithic zirconia partial implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (ISFDP) over 5–10 years and to evaluate implant- and prosthesis-related factors influencing treatment failure and complications.
Partially edentulous patients treated with screw-retained all-ceramic ISFDPs with 2–4 prosthetic units with a documented follow-up of ≥5 years after implant loading were included in this retrospective study. The outcomes analyzed included implant/prosthesis failure and biological/technical complications. Possible risk factors were identified using the mixed effects Cox regression analysis.
Results
A screened sample of 171 participants with 208 prostheses (95% of the restorations were splinted crowns without a pontic) supported by 451 dental implants were enrolled in this study. The mean follow-up duration after prosthesis delivery was 82.4 ±17.2 months. By the end of the follow-up period, 431 (95.57%) of the 451 implants remained functional at the implant level. At the prosthesis level, 185 (88.94%) of the 208 partial ISFDPs remained functional. Biological complications were observed in 67 implants (14.86%), and technical complications were observed in 62 ISFDPs (29.81%). Analysis revealed only emergence profiles (over-contoured) as a significant risk factor for implant failure (p<0.001) and biological complications (p<0.001). Full-coverage ceramic-veneered zirconia prostheses had a significantly greater chance of chipping (p<0.001) compared with buccal-ceramic-veneered or monolithic zirconia prostheses.
Screw-retained ceramic-veneered, monolithic partial ISFDPs have a favorable long-term survival rate. Over-contoured emergence profile is a significant risk factor associated with implant failure and biological complications. Buccal-ceramic-veneered and monolithic zirconia partial ISFDPs lower the initial prevalence of chipping compared with a full-coverage veneered design.
