About

The main objective of the present prospective study is to evaluate the effectiveness of posterior zirconia FDPs after 14 years of function.

Full description

thirty-seven patients needing to replace either premolars or molars were involved and 48 3-unit zirconia-based FDPs were fabricated. Patients included in the present clinical study met specific inclusion criteria and clinical procedures were standardized.

Frameworks with a 9 mm2 cross section of the connectors and 0.6 mm minimum thickness of the retainers were made by means of Computer Aided Design/Computer Assisted Manufacturing. A resin cement was used to lute the restorations. The patients were recalled after 6 and 12 months and then yearly up to a total follow-up of 14 years. The United States Public Health Service criteria were used in order to examine technical and esthetic outcomes. Success and survival rates

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • good general health;
  • ASA I or ASA II according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists;
  • good periodontal health;
  • Angle class I occlusal relationship;
  • minimum of 20 teeth;
  • good oral hygiene;
  • no evident signs of occlusal parafunctions and/or temporo-mandibular disorders.

Moreover, the abutment teeth had to fulfill the following inclusion criteria:

  • periodontal health (absence of tooth mobility, absence of furcation involvement);
  • proper positioning in the dental arch (tooth axes adequate for a FDP);
  • sufficient occlusal-cervical height of the clinical crown (≥4 mm) for the retention of a FDP;
  • vital or endodontically treated to a clinically sound state;
  • opposing natural teeth or fixed prostheses.

Exclusion Criteria:- subjects preferring implant-supported prostheses;

  • high caries activity;
  • occlusal-gingival height of the abutment teeth <4 mm;
  • reduced interocclusal distance or supraerupted opposing teeth;
  • unfavorable crown-to-root ratio;
  • severe wear facets, clenching, bruxism;
  • presence of removable partial dentures;
  • pregnancy or lactation.
