- Objectives The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of fixed tooth- and implant-supported protheses manufactured in porcelain veneered cobalt-chromium (CoCr) or titanium with a follow-up period of 5-9 years. Materials and methods This study included 63 patients with a total of 86 fixed dental protheses (FDPs) (53 implant-supported and 33 tooth-supported). In total, 67 were short-span FDPs (3-5 units) and 19 were long-span FDPs (6-12 units). The FDPs were evaluated using a modified version of the California Dental Association (CDA). Results The binary regression analysis indicated that neither CoCr nor titanium had a statistically significant effect on the odds of success or survival of either tooth- or implant-supported FDPs. However, the success of FDPs was negatively affected by greater FDP length and general tooth wear. The survival of FDPs was negatively affected by increased FDP longevity. Conclusions This study found no statistically significant effect on the odds of success and survival outcomes for any combination of tooth-supported, implant-supported, porcelain-veneered CoCr, or porcelain-veneered titanium FDPs. As the number of FDPs was limited, the results should be interpreted with caution.
