Systematic review of short- (5-10 years) and long-term (10 years or more) survival and success of full-arch fixed dental hybrid prostheses and supporting implants

Despite seemingly high short-term survival, long-term survival of implant supported full arch fixed dental hybrid prosthesis could not be determined due to limited availability of true long-term studies. Although it may be a valuable option for a patient with a completely edentulous ridge(s), the strategic removal of teeth with satisfactory prognosis for the sake of delivering an implant supported full-arch dental hybrid prosthesis should be avoided.
