Article Synopsis
- Telescopic crown-retained dentures (TCDs) are widely used prosthetics for patients with missing teeth, but using a post and core (PC) treatment as an abutment often leads to failures, particularly due to fractures caused by extra axial forces.* -
- A study analyzed 246 patients and 399 PC treatments over up to 17.33 years, comparing two scenarios: PC treatment performed at the time of TCD fitting (PC1) versus after an abutment tooth fracture (PC2).* -
- Results indicated that PC2 had significantly lower survival rates than PC1, highlighting the importance of using PC1 when treating endodontically treated abutment teeth and the need for careful
Purpose: To assess the survival of double-crown-retained implant-and-tooth-supported removable partial dentures (DCR-ITSRPDs), evaluate abutment survival, and identify first aftercare measures.
Materials And Methods: The influence of various factors on the survival of the DCR-ITSRPDs and the abutments were observed in this retrospective and clinical follow-up study using the Kaplan-Meier estimate. In addition, the first-required aftercare measure for each prosthesis was evaluated.
Objectives: Post and core (PC) is frequently used, but clinical evidence concerning how long a post must be is scarce. Recommendations in dental literature range from half of the root which should be incorporated, to post space preparations conducted as deep as possible increasing the risk for root perforation thus tooth loss. Therefore, the aim of this retrospective survival analysis is to evaluate the post length as well as the post-clinical crown ratio on a large patient cohort with long follow-ups.
