Clinical outcomes in implant-supported full-Arch fixed prosthesis utilizing pressed composite restorations

Abstract

The author wants to evaluate the clinical advantages and limitations of the composite pressed on metal framework for full-Arch implant-supported fixed prosthesis in comparing with dental ceramic restorations. A total of thirty-Two edentulous arches were restored. All complications were recorded at each follow-up visit up to 1 year after insertion. No complications were reported on pressed composite restoration. Complications were found in the ceramic restorations like chipping or fracture of the ceramic veneer. The composite pressed restorations are a treatment option for full arch restorations over implants, showing a better success rate in the present study in comparing with ceramic restorations.
