Implant-supported prostheses have become a cornerstone of restorative dentistry, offering patients an effective solution for missing teeth. However, the choice of material for these prostheses can significantly impact their maintenance requirements and long-term success.
Patient records of individuals who received implant-supported prostheses over a 2-year period were reviewed. Data on maintenance interventions, including adjustments, repairs, and replacements were collected and analyzed for metal alloys, ceramics, and composites.
Metal alloys exhibited slightly higher average numbers of adjustments compared to ceramics and composites. Ceramics required a higher mean number of repairs and replacements compared to other materials. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in adjustment frequency between metal alloys and ceramics ( = 0.047), but no significant differences were observed for repairs or replacements.
The outcomes imply that material choice plays a significant role in the maintenance requirements of implant dental prostheses. While metal alloys may require more frequent adjustments, ceramics and composites may necessitate more repairs and replacements over time. Clinicians should consider these factors when selecting materials for implant prostheses and develop tailored maintenance protocols to optimize treatment outcomes.
种植体支持的修复体已成为口腔修复学的基石，为患者提供了缺失牙的有效解决方案。然而，这些修复体的材料选择会显著影响其维护需求和长期成功率。
回顾了在两年期间接受种植体支持修复体的患者记录。收集并分析了金属合金、陶瓷和复合材料的维护干预数据，包括调整、修复和更换。
与陶瓷和复合材料相比，金属合金的平均调整次数略高。与其他材料相比，陶瓷需要更高的平均修复和更换次数。统计分析显示金属合金和陶瓷之间的调整频率存在显著差异（P = 0.047），但在修复或更换方面未观察到显著差异。
结果表明材料选择在种植体牙修复体的维护需求中起着重要作用。虽然金属合金可能需要更频繁的调整，但随着时间的推移，陶瓷和复合材料可能需要更多的修复和更换。临床医生在为种植体修复体选择材料时应考虑这些因素，并制定量身定制的维护方案以优化治疗效果。
