Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review of the survival and complication rates of fixed partial dentures (FPDs) after an observation period of at least 5 years
Bjarni E. Pjetursson,Ken Tan,Niklaus P. Lang,Urs Brägger,Matthias Egger,Matthias Egger,Marcel Zwahlen +6 more
TL;DR: The present study was done to determine the long-term success and survival of fixed partial dentures (FPDs) and to evaluate the risks for failures due to specific biological and technical complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of survival and complication rates of tooth-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) and implant-supported FDPs and single crowns (SCs)
TL;DR: Planning of prosthetic rehabilitations should preferentially include conventional end abutment tooth-supported FDPs, solely implant- supported F DPs or implant-supported SCs, only for reasons of anatomical structures or patient-centered preferences and as a second option should cantilever tooth- supportedFDPs or FDPS supported by combination of implants and teeth be chosen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regeneration and enlargement of jaw bone using guided tissue regeneration
TL;DR: The results of the study indicate that the biological principle of GTR is highly predictable for ridge enlargement or defect regeneration under the prerequisite of a complication-free healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long‐term implant prognosis in patients with and without a history of chronic periodontitis: a 10‐year prospective cohort study of the ITI® Dental Implant System
Ioannis K. Karoussis,Giovanni E. Salvi,Lisa J. A. Heitz-Mayfield,Urs Brägger,Christoph H. F. Hämmerle,Niklaus P. Lang +5 more
TL;DR: Patients with implants replacing teeth lost due to chronic periodontitis demonstrated lower survival rates and more biological complications than patients with implantsReplacing teeth lostDue to reasons other thanperiodontitis during a 10-year maintenance period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of residual pockets on progression of periodontitis and tooth loss: Results after 11 years of maintenance
Giedre Matuliene,Bjarni E. Pjetursson,Giovanni E. Salvi,Kurt Schmidlin,Urs Brägger,Marcel Zwahlen,Niklaus P. Lang,Niklaus P. Lang +7 more
TL;DR: Residual residual PPD >or=5 mm and bleeding on probing (BOP) after active periodontal therapy (APT) on the progression of periodontitis and tooth loss represents an incompleteperiodontal treatment outcome and require further therapy.
