ABSTRACT

Implant-tooth-supported prostheses have significant biological and biomechanical benefits. Due to the widespread use of implants to support prostheses in partly edentulous patients, encountering this condition of mandatory connection between tooth and implant is becoming increasingly unusual. Long-term prognosis of this treatment approach is, however, a topic of specific dispute in dentistry literature due to biomechanical differences between a tooth and an implant. The purpose of this review is to critically analyse the technical issues, the biological effects of tooth-implant-supported prostheses, and the recommendations that could be useful in preventing long-term issues related to the tooth-supported permanent partial denture.
