Zirconia Based Fixed Dental Prostheses

March 23, 2015 updated by: Technische Universität Dresden

Prospective Evaluation of Zirconia Based Tooth- and Implant- Supported Fixed Dental Prostheses

The objective of this prospective clinical study is to investigate the differences in the complication rates between tooth- and implant- supported zirconia based fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) with at least 4 units. The null-hypothesis is that there is no difference in the complication rates between implant- supported and tooth- supported zirconia FDPs.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Fixed Dental Prostheses (FDPs) With Failure
Time Frame: 3 years
"Failure" was recorded if there was a need to remove the Fixed Dental Prosthesis over the observation period.
3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Fixed Dental Prostheses (FDPs) With Chip/s
Time Frame: 3 years
Measurement of the amount of fractures of the veneering material 6,12,18,24,30 and 36 months after placement of the restorations. The percentage of chips for the implant- and tooth- supported restorations will be reported.
3 years

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of of Fixed Dental Prostheses (FDPs) With Rough Surface
Time Frame: 3 years
Measurement of the restorations with rough surface 6,12,18,24,30 and 36 months after placement of the restorations.
