Study Notes
All-Ceramic or Metal-Ceramic Tooth-Supported Fixed Dental Prostheses (FDPs)
- A systematic review assessed the 5-year survival and complication rates of all-ceramic and metal-ceramic tooth-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs).
- Studies involving at least 10 patients with at least 3 years of follow-up were included.
- The review analyzed 1796 metal-ceramic and 1110 all-ceramic FDPs.
- The estimated 5-year survival rate for metal-ceramic FDPs was 94.4% (91.2-96.5%).
- All-ceramic FDP survival rates differed according to material:
- Reinforced glass ceramic: 89.1% (80.4–94.0%)
- Glass-infiltrated alumina: 86.2% (69.3–94.2%)
- Densely sintered zirconia: 90.4% (84.8–94.0%)
- No statistical significance was found between metal-ceramic and overall all-ceramic FDP survival rates except in glass-infiltrated alumina FDPs. (p=0.05)
- Densely sintered zirconia FDPs showed a significantly higher incidence of abutment caries compared to metal-ceramic FDPs.
- Reinforced glass ceramic and glass-infiltrated alumina FDPs exhibited significantly higher framework fracture rates compared to metal-ceramic and densely sintered zirconia FDPs.
- Densely sintered zirconia FDPs also showed significantly higher ceramic fracture and loss of retention rates.
Study Methodology
- Systematic review updated a previous publication.
- Medline (PubMed), Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched for relevant clinical studies published between 2006-2013.
- A hand search also was conducted.
- Studies included those with a mean of at least 3 years of follow-up.
- Data extraction and analysis were performed by two independent reviewers.
- Data extracted included: author, year, study design, number of patients, age, materials, and complications.
- Statistical analysis included Poisson regression models to estimate survival rates.
