Longevity of Partial and Complete Dentures

Abstract


 Removable complete dentures may last for an average of 10.06 years, with most complete dentures lasting for at least 5 years.
 Most metal partial dentures may last for at least 5 years.
 We did not identify any studies that met inclusion criteria for our report describing the longevity of removable plastic partial dentures.
 The included studies did not report populations, interventions, and outcomes clearly or consistently. This made some of the findings difficult to interpret.
