Technical complications and failures of zirconia-based prostheses supported by implants followed up to 7 years: a case series.

Purpose: To evaluate technical complications and failures of zirconia-based fixed prostheses supported by implants.

Materials And Methods: Consecutive patients received zirconia-based single crowns (SCs) and fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) on implants in a private clinical setting between 2005 and 2010. One dentist performed all surgical and prosthetic procedures, and one master technician performed and coordinated all laboratory procedures.

Zirconia for teeth and implants: a case series.

This case series reports on the use of nonsilica-based high-strength full ceramics for different prosthetic indications. Fifty-two consecutive patients received tooth- or implant-supported zirconia reconstructions during a 2-year period. The observation period for reexamination was 12 to 30 months.

A follow-up study of maxillary implants supporting an overdenture: clinical and radiographic results.

Purpose: Studies of maxillary overdentures supported by endosseous implants often show a high implant failure rate. The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate clinically and radiographically non-submerged implants supporting an overdenture in the maxilla.

Materials And Methods: Forty-one patients were consecutively admitted for treatment.
