A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Evaluating the Survival, the Failure and the Complication Rates of Metal-Ceramic, Veneered and Monolithic All-Ceramic Tooth-Supported Multiple- Unit Fixed Dental Prostheses (Fdps)
Veneered and monolithic densely sintered zirconia and metal-ceramic FDPs demonstrate comparable 5-year survival. High fracture rates make weaker ceramics unsuitable for multi-unit restorations. Monolithic zirconia offers improved resistance to chipping and framework fractures.
