FINDINGS OF ALL CERAMIC RESIN AND METAL ADHESIVE FIXED DENTAL PROSTHESIS: RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
The current study aims to investigate the all ceramic resin and metal adhesive fixed dental prosthesis retrospectively. The purpose of the research is to assess possible variables impacting the probability for problems or fails and to examine the long-term results of metal- and all-ceramic RBFDPs, assuming that there are no distinctions among the underlying elements. The study involved 71 participants who received Retained-Body Dental Implants (RBFDP). The implants had to be functional for at least six months and undergo a medical assessment evaluation between January 2024 and June 2024. The study focused on intermaxillary space, enamel surface, and potential need for extra retention. Patients were instructed to maintain cleanliness, and their dental and periodontal parameters were examined. A survey was completed to gather information on smoking, recall rate, and dental care. The duration in place was measured in months from the moment of implantation until the end of the assessment date. The statistical software SPSS (version 23) was used to do the calculations. The standard deviation (SD) and averages were employed in descriptive statistics. RBFDPs were used to replace one to four lost teeth in the 71 patients that were enrolled. Two-thirds of the all-ceramic restorations were planned with one wing, while the vast majority of metal-ceramic RBFDPs had two wings. With the exception of two lithium disilicate RBFDPs that replaced the two lower central incisors, restorations with multiple pontics were created as two-wing RBFDPs using a non-alloy framework. The most frequent causes of RBFDP were trauma-induced tooth loss, root fractures, and periodontal disease, in addition to congenital tooth loss. RBFDP is an effective minimally invasive restoration with increased survival and achievement percentages. It offers treatment alternatives like dental implants and FDP, and allows re-treatment in case of collapse.
