Splinting Osseointegrated Implants and Natural Teeth in Partially Edentulous Patients: A Systematic Review of the Literature

摘要

Dental implants in partially edentulous patients are a predictable therapeutic option. Innpatients with reduced bone volume, tooth-to-implant connected prostheses have beenndescribed as a treatment option. In this systematic review, the incidence of biologic andntechnical complications and the long-term survival rates of tooth-implant supported fixednpartial dentures (FPDs) are analyzed. In cases where a natural tooth is connected with annimplant to support a FPD, a rigid connection should be preferred
