Assessment of Complications of Implant Supported Partial Dentures: A Retrospective Analysis.
Sannishth M Sadrani, Harsh Baxi , Adit Shah

Background: For the treatment of partially edentulous spaces in the patient, the use of dental implants is an established treatment option. Higher incidences of enhanced success rates has been shown with improvements in implant-supported fixed restorations for partially edentulous arches.3,4 Numerous investigations are being carried out to increase the longevity of prosthetic restorations on implants. Reporting the complication-free survival rate is one of the acceptable ways of describing the susceptibility to complications. Hence, we retrospectively analyzed the prosthetic complications of implant-supported fixed partial dentures.Materials & Methods: The present study included retrospective analysis of the patients who underwent treatment of partially edentulous spaces by implants supported fixed partial dentures (FPD). Patients between the age group of 18 to 45 years were included for the study. Recording of the patient-specific and implant-specific variables were done. Follow-up examinations were scheduled 1 week after superstructure placement, 6 months later, and annually thereafter. All the results were analyzed by SPSS software. Chi-square test and Kaplan-Meier estimates were used for assessing the level of significance. P-value of less than 0.05 was considered to be significant.Results: 60 single crown structures were included in the present study while splinted crown and three units FPD included 9 and 17 patient selectively. More implants were placed in the molar region in comparison to premolar region. 60 and 55 implants were placed in the molar region and premolar region respectively. In maxilla and mandibale single-single implant supported fixed denture were reported with fractures. While single implant suported fixed dentures were replaced in single crown type, splinted crown type and three unit type FPD. Non-significant results were obtained while comparing the various parameters of the implant supported partial dentures.Conclusion: Low rate of technical complications occurred in prognosis of implant supported fixed partial dentures.
