  • Title: Fixed partial dentures supported by periodontally compromised teeth.
    Author: Freilich MA, Breeding LC, Keagle JG, Garnick JJ.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 1991 May; 65(5):607-11. PubMed ID: 2051379.
    Abstract:
    This study tested the effect of fixed partial dentures on hypermobile abutment teeth with substantially reduced levels of periodontal attachment. One abutment tooth and one control (nonabutment) tooth of the same type and periodontal condition were selected for study in adults. Treatment consisted of periodontal therapy and a 3- or 4-unit fixed partial denture, after which all subjects were placed on a quarterly maintenance schedule. No differences were found between the mean baseline and 24-month measures for all dependent variables at test or control sites.
