Description
Summary:Purpose The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the survival and complication rates of all‐ceramic resin‐bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs). Materials and Methods The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were applied. A systematic search was conducted by an electronic search in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and CNKI databases complemented by a manual search. Only clinical studies on all‐ceramic RBFDPs with a mean follow‐up period of at least 3 years qualified for data analyses. Results Among 1503 screened articles, one randomized controlled trial (RCT) and seven prospective or retrospective cohort studies were included in this study. The estimated 5‐year survival rate of all‐ceramic RBFDPs was 91.2%. Debonding and framework fracture were the two most frequent technical complications, and the estimated 5‐year debonding rate and fracture rate were 12.2% and 4.8%, respectively. Additionally, cantilevered all‐ceramic RBFDPs had a higher survival rate (p < 0.01), lower debonding rate, (p < 0.05), and fracture rate (p < 0.01) compared with two‐retainer all‐ceramic RBFDPs. Zirconia ceramic RBFDPs had a lower incidence of failure but a higher debonding rate compared with glass‐ceramic RBFDPs (p < 0.01). Conclusion Within the limitations of this systematic review, although all‐ceramic RBFDPs have a favorable 5‐year survival rate, this rate cannot represent the complete success of the treatment, since it may include typical complications such as debonding and fractures. There is an urgent need for long‐term clinical studies, especially for well‐designed RCTs on all‐ceramic RBFDPs.
