AIM
A large variety of dental materials are available for the production of implant-supported fixed restorations. Materials with different properties are likely to behave differently during clinical function, which may result in different prevalence and types of complications. The aim of the present review was to summarise, analyse and discuss the prevalence and types of complications or failures related to dental materials in implant-supported restorations.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A strategy was set up using the PICO format and the search was performed using the PubMed database, including a hand search of reference lists. Two independent reviewers selected papers based on a set of criteria. The number of events of complications was summarised.
RESULTS
The initial search produced 2764 titles. After application of criteria, 47 publications were selected for analysis. Seventeen studies reported on 1447 single crowns and 30 studies reported on 2190 fixed dental prostheses. The most common complications were fracture or chipping of the veneer material, loss of retention and lost access hole fillings. Due to the heterogeneity of studies, and large variation in number of restorations per material group, no conclusive correlation between type of material and type of technical complication and/or failure could be established.
CONCLUSIONS
The review did not succeed in providing convincing evidence to answer the question concerning a possible relationship between restoration materials and prevalence of technical complications in implant-supported restorations.

Review
A single fixed prosthesis replaces parts of a tooth. However, a single fixed prosthesis may also be implant supported and in such a case it replaces in combination with the oral implant an entire tooth. A multi-teeth fixed prosthesis replaces 1 or more teeth using pontics and can be fixed on teeth, oral implants, or both. Materials applied are metal, metal fused with porcelain, and ceramic. After indicating a fixed prosthesis, the intended function is determining the appropriate type. Intended functions of single fixed prosthesis are: improvement of aesthetics, limitation of tooth fracture, acting as an abutment tooth for a removable metal frame partial denture, and splinting of mobile teeth. In addition, single fixed prostheses may be characterized by the number of replaced tooth surfaces and by the peripheral extension of the tooth preparation. The intended functions of a multi-teeth fixed prosthesis are improvement of aesthetics, chewing function, and occlusal as well as mandibular stability. Specific types of fixed prosthesis are used as temporary restorations and in case of evaluating preliminary treatments preceding a final treatment.

Retrofitting a crown to an existing partial removable dental prosthesis (PRDP) is difficult, labor intensive, and time consuming. This article presents an alternative technique for fabricating a crown under an existing PRDP by using an intraoral digital scanner and computer-assisted design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. This technique involves less human error and provides a well-fitting restoration.

Review
Implant-supported provisional restorations serve several valuable functions. In the anterior region, they are beneficial in determining the best restorative design, ultimately allowing for the most appropriate definitive prosthesis. They also provide a template around which soft tissue contours may be evaluated and manipulated. In areas where bone quality is compromised and implant success is suspect, whether it be anteriorly or more likely posteriorly, implant-supported provisional restorations may be used to "test" the osseointegration prior to fabricating and placing the definitive restorations.

Comparative Study Review
The application of implant dentistry to the treatment of partial edentulism has necessitated the development of new components and techniques. This article reviews the various systems and techniques used to fabricate successful anterior single-tooth implant restorations. Placement techniques for nonsegmented, screw-retained abutments; segmented, screw-retained abutments; and segmented, cement-retained abutments are illustrated.

Review
PURPOSE
The purpose of this article was to review the literature concerning the need to splint implants together when restoring them with a provisional restoration immediately after implant placement.
METHODS
The literature is reviewed concerning the rationale for splinting teeth and reports concerning the efficacy of splinting implants together. Based on this team's experience with a prospective series of consecutive 2 to 5 unit provisionalization cases, guidelines are included with case examples for understanding the technique.
CONCLUSION
As long as canine guidance is present, and occlusion is stable, multiunit single quadrant restorations do not need to be splinted when provisionalized.

This article describes an alternative digital approach for fabricating an implant-supported interim prosthesis. An interim prosthesis with an appropriate emergence profile and esthetics was fabricated before surgery and connected to the interim abutment immediately after implantation guided by a prosthetic template.
