[Results valuation of adhesive bridges--3-year study].

Abstract

139 of 169 adhesive-bridges, incorporated from 1984 bis 1987, were reexaminated in 1988. The failure rate was 37.5% with a mean functional period of 27.3 months. The patients were in average 40.5 years old. Rate of success is discribed depending on the localization and pillar-link-relation. The peaks of loss were after 300 and 900 days incorporation period. Conclusions for indication, prognosis and methodical references are given.
