A Systematic Review of the Survival and Complication Rates of All‐Ceramic Resin‐Bonded Fixed Dental Prostheses

Abstract

Within the limitations of this systematic review, although all-ceramic RBFDPs have a favorable 5-year survival rate, this rate cannot represent the complete success of the treatment, since it may include typical complications such as debonding and fractures. There is an urgent need for long-term clinical studies, especially for well-designed RCTs on all-ceramic RBFDPs.

Clinical procedures, designs, and survival rates of all‐ceramic resin‐bonded fixed dental prostheses in the anterior region: A systematic review

“…Most of the current clinical studies showed that cantilever design RBFDPs are superior than two retainer design in the anterior region . However, there are limited number of RCTs and CCTs in the literature, so the level of evidence of this result is mainly from cohort studies as mentioned before in the previous review articles …”

“…29,[32][33][34][35][36][46][47][48] However, there are limited number of RCTs and CCTs in the literature; therefore, the level of evidence of this result is mainly from cohort studies as mentioned before in the previous review articles. 15,16 In addition, none of the studies in the literature reported the type of functional occlusion of the patients or matched the results of their studies with this variety. However, according to the authors' opinion, the functional occlusion type of the patient is very important for the all-ceramic RBFDPs because in each occlusion type different forces may focus RBFDPs.…”

“…The rationale of the present review is to report all different designs and clinical procedures together with clinical survival rates of all‐ceramic RBFDPs in the anterior region. None of the previously published reviews in the literature mentioned all of these details for all‐ceramic RBFDPs in the anterior region …”

“…None of the previously published reviews in the literature mentioned all of these details for all-ceramic RBFDPs in the anterior region. [15][16][17][18] Every original case or clinical report has unique properties that…”

The treatment dilemma of missing maxillary lateral incisors‐Part I: Canine substitution and resin‐bonded fixed dental prostheses

“…Anterior prostheses, including lateral incisors, had a higher survival rate and zirconia frameworks performed better than those of metal alloys. Another systematic review in 2018 reported similar results and noted that debonding and fractures were the most common complications . In a retrospective examination specifically of lateral incisor agenesis by Garnett et al in 2006 of 59 patients who received resin‐bonded replacements after orthodontic treatment, 41% of 73 prostheses debonded at least once over a median survival time of 59 months.…”
