Article Abstract
Objectives: to assess FRC FPDs longevity through systematically reviewing contemporary clinical evidence. Population investigated comprised patients requiring replacement of a single missing anterior/posterior tooth. Intervention was FRC FPDs. No control/comparison selected. Outcome was longevity of FRC FPDs. The focus question was: 'What is the longevity of FRC FPDs used to replace one anterior or posterior tooth in patients?'
Data: Randomised, non-randomised, controlled, prospective and retrospective clinical studies were included. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses were applied. The Overall Strength of Clinical Recommendation (OSCR) was assessed using the Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy system. Survival of FPDs was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Analysis of FPD-survival according to location and occurrence of different failures was performed using Logrank and Chi-square testing.
Sources: PubMed, MEDLINE, and Web of Science databases were searched between January 2007 and December 2015.
Study Selection: Nine studies were included, involving placement of 592 FRC FPDs in 463 patients. Follow-up periods ranged between 2 months and 8 years. Kaplan-Meier overall survival probability was 94.5% (95%C.I: 92.5%-96.5%) at 4.8 years. There was no significant difference in survival probability of anterior versus posterior FRC FPDs (P=0.278). Veneering material fracture/delamination occurred significantly more than other types of failures (Ps<0.05). A meta-analysis could not be performed. OSCR was moderate.
Conclusions: FRC FPDs demonstrated high overall survival with predictable performance outcomes. However, long-term performance remains unclear.
Clinical Significance: FRC FPDs are viable medium-term management alternatives for replacing single anterior or posterior teeth in patients.

Aim: To evaluate the fracture resistance of three-unit fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) made of composite, high-density polymers (HDP), fiber-reinforced composite (FRC), and metal-ceramic (MC) using different fabrication methods.
Materials And Methods: A typodont model was prepared to receive a three-unit FDP replacing a missing second maxillary premolar. The prepared model was digitally scanned using an intraoral scanner (Trios3, 3Shape, Denmark).

Maxillary lateral incisor is the most frequent congenitally missing anterior tooth of the permanent dentition. The absence of the anterior tooth can adversely affect the production/transmission of speech sounds, mental health, and facial aesthetics of an individual. Considering this, prosthetic rehabilitation of missing front tooth is important.

Materials And Methods: Hypodontia treatment effects were retrospectively evaluated in 129 patients aged 18 to 60 years. The assessment covered esthetic, biologic, and functional aspects of the restored missing teeth within 9 years after treatment.

Purpose: Mechanical and optical studies of glass fiber composites have revealed great resistance and satisfactory bonds between the glass fibers and composite resins. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term survival of anterior and posterior direct glass fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) fixed partial dentures (FPD).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-three patients (9 men, 14 women) aged 18 to 67 received 23 d-FRC-FPDs.

Statement Of Problem: Although fiber-reinforced composite fixed dental prostheses (FRC FDPs) are a reliable treatment option for the restoration of single missing teeth, comparatively few prospective clinical trials (PCT) exist.
Purpose: The purpose of this PCT was to evaluate the survival, quality outcome, and effect of FRC FDPs on periodontal health over 4 years.
Material And Methods: Twenty-six consecutive patients (16 men, 10 women) receiving FRC FDPs with preimpregnated unidirectional fiber reinforcement were included in the trial.
