Long‐term survival characteristics of 832 resin‐retained bridges and splints provided in a post‐graduate teaching hospital between 1978 and 1993

Abstract

The clinical performance of 832 resin-retained bridges and splints provided in the adult fixed prosthodontic clinic of a post-graduate teaching hospital was reviewed. Recall data was available for 58.4% of cases and the median survival was 7 years and 10 months. Analysis of clinical variables influencing survival revealed that the design and retainer coverage were significant factors. The experience of the operator carrying out treatment also had a pronounced effect which was not readily explained in terms of the distribution of other significant factors. Resin-retained restorations made with minimal tooth preparation are shown to be capable of extended clinical service and their failure rarely resulted in adverse consequences for the patient. Patient satisfaction with their treatment was reportedly high.

Comparison of Tensile Bond Strength of Fixed-Fixed Versus Cantilever Single- and Double-Abutted Resin-Bonded Bridges Dental Prosthesis

“…We found that cantilevered single-abutment frameworks had the lowest tensile strength. Our finding differs from a majority of previous literature that describes single-abutment cantilever designs as having a low risk of failure and greater longevity [32][33][34]. Alraheam et al also reported that although the dental implants seem to have provided reliable support for dental restorations in recent decades, the RBFDPs can serve as a promising alternative because the estimated 5-year clinical performance of RBFDPs was similar to that of FDPs and implant-supported crowns; thus, they concluded that clinicians should consider using RBFDPs frequently [35].…”

“…The present study reported no complications or failures of the RBFPDPs after 3 months. The findings are consistent with those of previous studies (Djemal et al, 1999;Lim et al, 2022a;Shahdad et al, 2018).…”

“…The main reason for failure in the present study (8%) is in agreement with the results of other studies that repeated debonding was the main reason of failure (5, 7). The most common reason for failure of conventional bridges is caries and loss of vitality (9, 20).…”
