A systematic review of the survival and complication rates of resin‐bonded fixed dental prostheses after a mean observation period of at least 5 years

Abstract

Despite the high survival rate of RBBs after 5 and 10 years, technical complications like de-bonding and minor chipping were frequent. RBBs with zirconia framework and RBBs with one retainer tooth showed the highest survival rate.

Longevity of ceramic onlays: A systematic review

“…In parallel to ceramic improvements, there have been advances in adhesive and cementation agents that combine enhanced bonding between the tooth and the ceramic material and ease of use . Consequently, a new range of conservative, tooth‐colored and durable restorative options are available . Contemporary ceramics have been used to restore teeth with inlays, onlays, crowns, or even fixed partial dentures.…”

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

“…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 …”

Scan‐layered reconstructions: A pilot study of a nondestructive dental histoanatomical analysis method and digital workflow to create restorations driven by natural dentin and enamel morphology

“…Annual debonding rates of 2.89 for metal‐ceramic, 4.17 for metal‐acrylic, 1.72 for fiber‐reinforced composite, 1.42 for zirconia and no debondings for glass‐infiltrated and glass‐reinforced ceramic frameworks have been reported. One‐retainer designs also showed significantly higher survival rates and lower de‐bonding rates when compared to two‐retainer designs …”

“…Frameworks consisting of glass‐infiltrated ceramics, reinforced glass ceramic and zirconia presented an estimated 5‐year survival rate of 93.4%, 95.3%, and 100%, respectively. Restorations replacing anterior maxillary teeth were also found to present the lowest annual failure rates when compared to mandibular and posterior edentulous areas …”

“…Despite being frequently considered not to be a long term treatment by many clinicians, resin‐bonded prosthesis have shown to have a 5‐year and 10‐year survival rates only 4.9% and 6.5% lower than implant‐supported single unite restorations, as well as a lower prevalence of biological complications requiring treatment intervention of the supporting structures (teeth vs implants) …”
