Comparison of three different types of fixed partial implant prosthesis: A long-term retrospective study of clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness
Clinical Oral Implants Research Feb 20, 2019
Ravida A, et al. - A total of 145 candidates were retrospectively studied to evaluate the consequences of posterior bone-level dental implants formed with either 3 non-splinted crowns (NSC), 3 splinted crowns (SC), or a 3-unit fixed partial denture supported by 2 implants (FPD). They observed 92.5%, implant survival rates in the NSC, 100% in the FDP and 88.5% in the SC, with a significant discrepancy, recorded between the FPD and SC. They noted 9.9% of the total implants with peri-implantitis (PI), with 16.7% in the SC, 7.5% in the NSC and 2.8% in the FPD. They noticed a higher incidence of prosthodontic complications in NSC (32.5%). Overall, they suggested implant-supported FPD, the most ideal long-term therapeutic solution in restoring a 3-unit edentulous area.
