    Abstract:
    A total of 262 patients aged 32 to 58 were examined and 246 patients aged 30 to 60 were treated. Of the 944 cermet crowns examined complications were found in 88 (9.34%). Ceramic fractures occurred in 20 crowns, inflammatory processes in the gingiva developed in 22 cases, functional overexercise of the periodontium in 21, failure of cement fixation in 18, apical periodontitis in 7 cases. The causes of these complications are analyzed and measures to prevent them worked out. If all preventive measures were adhered to in the treatment of 246 patients fitted with dentures, complications occurred three times more seldom (in only 3.14% of cases).
