ABSTRACT
The aim of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate and compare oral hygiene levels in patients subjected to fixed metal-ceramic or stratified zirconia prostheses, either on teeth or on dental implants. Twenty patients, including 10 with metal-ceramic prostheses and 10 with stratified zirconia, were engaged for the study. Considering the prosthesis positioning phase as zero time, all patients were examined twice a year for a follow-up period of 3 years. During each session, to assess oral cavity state of health, both the Plaque Index (IP) and the Bleeding Index (BOP) were recorded. All patients were instructed in home hygiene maintenance and subjected to professional oral hygiene sessions customized according to prothesis type (on natural teeth or dental implants) and materials (metal ceramic or stratified zirconia). Statistically significant evidence was found in IP values, with an increase in the initial stages in zirconia prostheses and in the final stages in metal-ceramic ones. BOP levels showed a reduction during the follow-up period, but no statistically significant differences were found between examined groups. An adequate patient education in hygiene maintenance associated with professional oral hygiene sessions with special tools could positively affect fixed prostheses' maintenance, both on natural teeth and on dental implants.
