Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the result of implant-natural tooth supported fixed partial dentures. METHODS: Eighty-six patients with moderate or severe alveolar absorption, and/or higher mandibular cannel or lower maxillary sinus underwent dental implant surgery. 3-6 months after operation, the dentition defects were restored with implant-tooth supported fixed partial dentures. RESULTS: The restorations were evaluated 2 to 3 years after restoration, the success rate was 93.4%. CONCLUSION: If there is some anatomical limitation for dental implants, implant and natural tooth supported fixed partial dentures will be an optimal choice.
