This document summarizes a study that evaluated the 5-year outcomes of partial implant-supported fixed dental prostheses with one to two cantilevers. The study included 174 patients who received 225 dental implants to support 191 fixed prostheses. Outcome measures included prosthesis and implant success rates, as well as mechanical and biological complications. Peri-implant marginal bone levels were also evaluated based on radiographs taken at insertion and 1 and 5 years.

Farma, Agualva-Cacém, Portugal) was given daily in a regression mode
from the day of surgery until 4 days postoperatively.

19. MATERIALS AND METHODS
SURGICAL PROTOCOL
• Antiacid medication (omeprazole, 20 mg, Lisbon, Portugal) was given on the
day of surgery and daily for 6 days postoperatively.
• Implant site preparation followed the standard procedures with the following
modifications: an incision was performed on the palatal side of the crest for
maximum tissue repositioning of the papilla in the maxilla, and the flaps were
kept as small as possible to maximize blood supply.
• The drilling sequence was modified according to bone density in order to
achieve maximum apical anchorage using the implant manufacturer burs

32. RESULTS
PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES
• Implant success: a total of 3 implants were lost in 3 patients after 1 and 4
months of follow-up.
• From the 3 implant losses, 2 resulted in the loss of 2 prostheses, rendering a
survival rate estimation of 99.0% at 5 years (Kaplan–Meier).
• The mean survival estimate was 59.4 months (95% CI: 58.6–60.2 months; all
cases were censored at 60 months of follow-up).

38. DISCUSSION
• A 99.0% prosthetic survival rate at 5 years proves that it is viable to perform
implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis partial rehabilitations with a canti-
lever.
• High frequency of mechanical complications (27.6%) in these types of
rehabilitations, corresponding to 1 for every 4 prostheses.
• Zurdo et al-Systematic review - mean frequency of 20.3% (frequency
range13–26%) for technical complications during the follow-up of these
types of rehabilitations.

39. DISCUSSION
• Parafunctional habits (13 patients were heavy bruxers)
• Design of the prosthesis (presence of leverage),
• To a lower extent, by the opposing dentition (metal-ceramic implant
supported fixed prostheses in 12 patients).

40. DISCUSSION
• Marginal bone level are accepted
• Nevertheless, there were 18 implants in 15 patients with a marginal bone loss
over 3 mm after 5 years of function.
• Systemicall problem , smoker ,periodontal and mechanical complications.
• Implant failure – 3 – early stage.

journal of oral implantology. 2013 Jan;6(1):51–9
41. DISCUSSION
• Retrospective design (only one clinic involved) and the low number of
available radiographs at implant insertion and at the 1-year follow-up.
• Number of implants unaccounted for (n = 21) belonging to the group of
drop-out patients (n = 16; 9% of the sample), which could affect the failure
rate as these patients could be expected to have a higher failure rate
compared to the patients complying with the follow-up in the study.
• Prospective clinical trials with long-term follow-up should be performed
