Summary: The study characterized the physicochemical and mechanical properties of a milled fiber-reinforced composite for implant-supported fixed dental prostheses. Results showed that FDPs fabricated with milled epoxy resin matrix reinforced with glass fibers demonstrated high probability of survival at 300N load, indicating good fatigue performance.

Summary: PEKK is a new evolving polymeric material with good shock absorbance and fracture resistance, showing promising potential in restorative and implant dentistry applications, especially with reduced stress shielding effect in dental implants. Further research and developments are needed to broaden its applications in the field of dentistry.

Summary: This retrospective study compared the clinical outcomes of single implant-supported crowns and implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). It found that mean marginal bone loss around the supporting implants of FDPs was greater than on single implant-supported crowns at one year after implant loading. Biological and technical complications occurred rarely, with screw loosening being the main technical complication observed.

Summary: Through analyzing 13 studies, results showed that the survival rate of fixed mandibular 3-implant retained prostheses was 95.43%, with an average prosthesis survival rate of 89.66% and a mean marginal bone loss of 1.09mm. The study suggests that the implant and prosthetic survival rates of this type of prosthesis are similar to those of full-arch mandibular prostheses retained by four or more implants. Further research is needed to explore the topic.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical behavior of mandibular implant-supported fixed complete dental prostheses on three dental implants, showing promising results in implant and prosthetic survival rates, suggesting it as a viable treatment option. Further comparative studies are needed to confirm these findings and establish protocols for optimal treatment outcomes.

Summary: The analysis of clinical outcomes of all-ceramic restorations supported by ceramic implants revealed that monolithic lithium disilicate (LS2) demonstrated fewer clinical complications, while veneered zirconia restorations had a higher chipping proportion, especially in fixed dental prostheses. After mid-term observation, all-ceramic restorations supported by ceramic implants showed promising survival rates.

Summary: Oral commensal microorganisms have important impacts on the overall health of the host, but they can also contribute to the development of oral and systemic diseases. The colonization of bacteria, fungi, and viruses on removable and fixed prostheses can lead to pathogenic conditions. Inadequate oral hygiene of denture wearers promotes oral dysbiosis and the transition of microorganisms from commensal to pathogens. Hence, it is crucial to maintain daily hygiene of prosthetic products, design prostheses to facilitate home oral hygiene, and use products that reduce plaque accumulation and oral dysbiosis.

Summary: This study evaluated the stress distribution on different implant components of a mandibular screw-retained fixed dental prosthesis using 3-dimensional finite element analysis. The results showed that abutment design significantly influenced the stress patterns on the implant components, with the mE-pmE configuration showing the lowest and most balanced stress distribution.

Summary: Dental implants have become the preferred option for prosthetic rehabilitation, but patient perceptions of oral health-related quality of life do not show overall superiority compared to conventional prosthetics. Patient expectations significantly affect treatment outcomes, and reconstructions supported by implants improve stability and function. However, there are discrepancies between patients' and clinicians' evaluations, especially in esthetic outcomes.
