Survival rate of ceramic inlays.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the survival rate of ceramic inlays provided in a practice environment by one of the authors over the past decade. METHODS: 183 inlays were examined in 67 patients. The interval between placement and assessment was, on average, 4 years (s.d. 2.75 years) and varied from 4 months to 10 years. Kaplan-Meier survival-type curves were used to assess the survival rate. RESULTS: Five inlays failed: four due to endodontic reasons and one due to fracture. Four failures were in permanent molar teeth while the other was in a premolar tooth. A success rate of 97% at 10 years was estimated. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical durability of the resin-bonded ceramic inlays investigated was satisfactory.

A retrospective analysis of the perio-prosthetic aspect of teeth re-prepared during periodontal surgery.

This paper describes a retrospective study in which the gingival and periodontal status was assessed at crowned and natural teeth. 510 crowned teeth and 510 natural teeth in 109 subjects were examined. The time elapsed between active therapy and the clinical examination was: (i) 1 to 3 years for 270 teeth; (ii) 3 to 5 years for 168 teeth; (iii) 6 to 9 years for 72 teeth. 90% of the patients were on a recall schedule that required prophylaxis once every 3 months; 8% returned every 6 months and 2% once a month. Plaque index and gingival index were assessed at 4 sites per tooth and pocket depth at 6 sites per tooth, the highest reading per tooth being used for the statistical analysis. The results indicated that there was no difference in plaque and gingival indices between crowned and natural teeth. In addition, the gingival status of the crowned teeth was good, irrespective of the position of the crown margin (subgingival, at the gingival margin or supragingival).
