Comparison of Rehabilitating Missing Mandibular First Molars with Implant‐ or Tooth‐Supported Prostheses Using Masticatory Efficiency and Patient Satisfaction Outcomes

“…The reported studies compared cost effectiveness, advantages, and disadvantages of implant‐retained restorations and FPDs in the replacement of a tooth . These studies stated that in some cases, an FPD might be an appropriate choice, though implants have the advantage of preservation of sound teeth adjacent to the edentulous area . A comparison of patient subjective satisfaction levels between these two modalities has not yet been elaborated.…”

“…Little research data have been reported on whether masticatory performance and patient perception is better with implant restorations or FPDs in unilateral posterior missing tooth conditions. Few studies comparing implants and FPDs as treatment options for single‐tooth replacement are available …”

EAO consensus conference: economic evaluation of implant‐supported prostheses

“…The results showed that implant‐supported single crowns had a 10.4% greater survival rate and cost on average US$261 more in a clinic setting and US$342 more in a hospital setting compared to fixed partial prostheses over a 10‐year period (Kim et al. ). That translated into a calculated cost‐effectiveness of US$25 in a clinic setting and US$33 in a hospital setting for each percent in 10‐year survival year gained.…”

Evaluation of Periodontal Status of Adjacent Teeth to Posterior SingleTooth Implant during a One-Year Period after Restoration: A CrossSectional Study

“…The ultimate goal of the implant is meeting the patient's demand to replace one or more missing teeth beautifully, functionally, effectively and in a stable form [3].…”
