Clinical outcomes of partial and full-arch all-ceramic implant-supported fixed dental prostheses. A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Objective
To assess the survival and technical complication rate of partial and full-arch all-ceramic implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (P-FDP/FA-FDP) and supporting implants.

Materials and methods
An electronic search through three databases (MEDLINE/Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Embase) was conducted to identify relevant clinical studies with an observation period of at least 12 months, including ≥15 patients. Reconstruction and implant survival rates, technical complications and confounding variables such as processed/installed materials, retention mode and location in the mouth were obtained. Failure and complication rates were analyzed using standard Poisson regression models to calculate 5-year survival and complication estimates.

Results
A total of five studies for the P-FDP group and seven studies for the FA-FDP group were included, throughout evaluating veneered zirconia reconstructions. In the P-FDP group, reconstructions were located in posterior regions. Meta-analysis indicated survival estimates on the reconstruction level of 98.3% and 97.7% for P- and FA-FDPs after 5 years. However, chipping of the veneering ceramic was frequent, resulting in estimated 5-year complication rates of 22.8% (P-FDPs) and 34.8% (FA-FDPs). Five-year survival estimates of implants supporting P-FDPs and FA-FDPs of 98.5% and 99.4% were calculated, respectively. Including a total of 540 FDPs, one screw-loosening and 11 de-cementations were reported. Confounding variables were not found to have a significant influence on survival and complication rates.

Conclusions
All-ceramic implant-supported P- and FA-FDPs comprising veneered zirconia frameworks showed high survival but clinically inacceptable fracture rates of the veneering ceramic. Their suitability with regard to this indication and a successful long-term outcome needs to be further evaluated
