Longevity and failure mode of posterior ceramic crowns and fixed partial denture
Keywords:
all-ceramic crowns, partial denture, longevity, survival rate, failure, risk factorsAbstract
The purpose of this review is to analyse the longevity of posterior all-ceramic crowns and fixed partial dentures; in addition to determine the failure mode. It seeks to assess the risk factors that should be considered with posterior all-ceramic restorations. The review of literature revealed an acceptable longevity for posterior all-ceramic restorations in a 5-year follow up period. This accompanies their aesthetic outcome especially with improving of mechanical properties of glass ceramic by adding reinforcement crystalline phases or using core. The loss of vitality and secondary caries were the common biological complications while ceramic fracture and chipping were the most frequent mechanical complications. Also, the para-functional activity and using implant as an abutment increase the risk of failure especially on posterior teeth.
