Tooth Implant Supported Prosthesis Verses Implant Supported Prosthesis: A Literature Review| Chapter 5 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 13
The use of a prosthesis to connect a tooth to an implant has always been controversial. The goal of this review is to summarise and discuss the available material, including literature reviews and other documents, as well as our personal experiences with the firm connection between tooth and implant in fixed partial prosthetics. During the fabrication of teeth implant supported prosthesis, we addressed clinical indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages, and potential risks such as intrusion, marginal bone loss, and tooth mobility. We also drew a few recommendations to gain and facilitate enhanced success rate with teeth implant supported prosthesis. Materials and Procedures: Thirty-six (36) publications were chosen and examined to determine the longevity of implant supported prostheses (ISP) and tooth implant supported prostheses (TISP), prosthetic alternatives such as rigid connector (RC) or non rigid connector (NRC), and problems such as tooth encroachment. Results: D...
