Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the survival rates of different materials for fixed partial dentures (FPDs).
Materials and Methods: A total of 547 FPDs made of different materials delivered to 319 patients were studied retrospectively with a mean observation time of 9.3 years. Cast-metal, metal-ceramic, and all-ceramic FPDs were included in the study and compared.
Results: The 10-year survival rate for cast-metal FPDs was 92.7%, for metal-ceramic FPDs, 76.2%, and for allceramic FPDs, 88.2%. No significant findings were reported regarding FPD materials and long-term survival rates.
Conclusion: Unlike in previous studies, no significant difference between the survival rates of all-ceramic FPDs and FPDs made of other materials was found. These results may be due to modern ma.. View More»
