Long-term survival of tooth- vs implant-supported FDPs in posterior region

A multicenter retrospective analysis of over 1,200 posterior fixed dental prostheses found a 5‑year cumulative survival of 94% for tooth‑supported and 96% for implant‑supported FDPs, with complications mainly technical. For BDS practitioners, the data support careful case selection but affirm comparable longevity of both support types. Clin Oral Implants Res. 2026 Aug 22.
