Published: July 2003

Prospective clinical studies are evaluating the long-term success of Y-TZP-based all-ceramic FPDs. Y-TZP-based infrastructures for crowns and FPDs present favorable physical, mechanical, and optical properties. Some Y-TZP-based restorative systems use CAD/CAM technology. Nevertheless, technicians should be able to employ traditional concepts of infrastructure design for both crowns and FPDs when using such materials. The purpose of this article is to review the properties of Y-TZP-based materials as a restorative infrastructure and to review the application of traditional concepts of framework design with CAD/CAM technology.

Patients' Preferences for the Treatment of a Single Missing Tooth in China: A Discrete Choice Experiment.

Patient Prefer Adherence

December 2024

Department of Infectious Diseases and Public Health, Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, People's Republic of China.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores preferences for restoring a single missing tooth using two main options: tooth-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs) and implant-supported single crowns (ISCs) through a discrete choice experiment (DCE).
  • - Participants aged 18-60 completed a questionnaire focusing on five important treatment attributes: procedure, time, cost, five-year survival rate, and five-year complication rate; the analysis indicated that complication rates were deemed most important.
  • - Results showed participants were willing to pay significantly more for reduced complication rates, highlighting the importance of addressing this factor in dental treatments and improving communication between patients and dentists regarding their preferences.

The Accuracy of 3D-Printed Fixed Dental Restorations.

J Esthet Restor Dent

December 2024

Department of Prosthodontics, University Hospital Berlin Charité, Berlin, Germany.

Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy of resin-based fixed dental restorations, namely veneers, single crowns, and four-unit fixed partial dental prosthesis (FPDs), using two different 3D printing technologies and polymer-based materials.

Materials And Methods: A standard maxillary polyurethane jaw model containing prepared teeth was scanned using an intraoral scanner. The generated STL data were used to design the restorations virtually using CAD software.

Success rate of all-ceramic FPDs depending on the time of restoration between 2011 and 2023.

J Adv Prosthodont

October 2024

Department of Prosthetic Dentistry and Biomedical Materials Research, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany.

Purpose: Studies about success of FPDs (fixed partial dentures) mostly include restorations built by different clinicians. This results in limited comparability of the data. The aim of this study was to evaluate complications of all-ceramic FPDs built by 1 dentist between 2011 to 2023.

Objective: To assess complications, survival rates, and patient-reported outcomes associated with fixed partial dentures (FPDs).

Methods: A cohort of 146 subjects, aged 18 and above, requiring FPD were recruited. Following comprehensive dental examinations, FPDs were fabricated.

The Role of Digital Facebow for CAD/CAM Implant-Supported Crowns Workflow.

Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove)

September 2024

Department of Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové, Charles University, Czech Republic.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent digital technology advancements in dentistry have improved clinical workflows, particularly in creating custom-made crowns and fixed partial dentures (FPDs) using virtual articulation and digital facebows for personalized CAD settings.
  • A case report involving a 68-year-old patient needing a replacement for missing teeth led to the initial plan of an implant-supported FPD using zirconia (ZrO2), but complications due to spatial constraints shifted the focus to porcelain fused to metal (PFM).
  • The study found that individually crafted PFM FPDs needed fewer adjustments compared to milled ZrO2 restorations, benefiting from reduced working time and fewer intraoral modifications thanks to data from the digital facebow.
