A systematic review of the survival and complication rates of implant‐supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) after a mean observation period of at least 5 years

Abstract

It may be concluded that implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) are a safe and predictable treatment method with high survival rates. However, biological and technical complications were frequent (33.6%). To minimize the incidence of complications, dental professionals should make great effort in choosing reliable components and materials for implant-supported FDPs and the patients should be placed in well-structured maintenance system after treatment.

Migration and Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Titanium with a Micro-Patterned Gelatin Matrix

“…Dental implant therapy is a highly effective treatment for recovering occlusion after tooth loss [1,2,3]. However, for most patients, osseointegration is not rapid, and there is some delay between implantation of the titanium prosthetic and its osseointegration with the native bone [4,5].…”

Analysis of commonly reported medical conditions amongst patients receiving dental implant therapy in private practice

“…1,2 In the developed world, implant therapy is highly prevalent and offered by specialist practitioners and general dentists of varying levels of expertise. 3,4 Systematic reviews of clinical trials with a mean observation period of at least five years are widely regarded as the highest level of evidence on which to base surgical and treatment protocols.…”

“…[5][6][7] However, studies included within systematic reviews often contain strict inclusion and exclusion criteria which can create a patient population not reflective of that encountered in private practice. 1,2 Features that frequently lead to exclusion included smoking, 'patients with systemic disease' (the definition of which is often undefined) and mental illness. Exclusion of these patients affects the external validity of observed outcomes and success rates in relation to the patient population found in private practice.…”
