5- and 10-year survival of tooth- vs implant-supported fixed dental prostheses in posterior region

The study compared 5- and 10-year survival of tooth- vs implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) in the posterior region. Implant-supported FDPs showed a 10-year survival of 92% versus 88% for tooth-supported, with fewer complications. This suggests that for posterior restorations, implant-supported FDPs may offer superior long-term outcomes for patients.
