Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Purpose: This study was conducted to identify and assess the complications associated with tooth-supported fixed dental prosthesis among dental patients in Qassim Region, Saudi Arabia, and the most common problems the patients might experience after receiving the treatment. Furthermore, the study aimed at comparing the incidence of complications of Fixed Dental Prosthesis (FPDs) with those of single crowns, and comparing the impact of complications of all-ceramic (FDPs) with those of metal-ceramic fixed Dental Prosthesis. Methodology: Interview-based questionnaire was used followed by clinical examination which was done at the dental clinics of Qassim University and the prosthodontic clinics of King Saud Hospital. Results: The most common complications associated with FDPs were esthetic problems, caries, loss of interproximal contact and periodontal problems respectively. Caries was the most frequently reported reason for FDPs removal. Conclusion: There was a significantly lower Postoperative sensitivity in Bridges (FPDs) compared with single crowns. Esthetic problems’ incidence of single crowns were significantly higher than that of Bridges (FDPs). Patients who had all-ceramic FDPs experienced greater postoperative sensitivity compared with those who had metal-ceramic FDPs.
