Study Reveals Impressive Survival Rate of Metal Crowns Under Japan's Public Health Insurance System

Posted: December 11, 2024
A retrospective study in Japan assessed the survival rate of metal crowns provided under the Public Health Insurance System. The study included 603 gold-silver-palladium alloy crowns fitted at dental offices, with a 92.5% survival rate at 5 years. Risk factors for failure included being male, low gonial angle, and deep pockets around abutment teeth. Key reasons for crown failure were extraction of abutment teeth, separation, root fracture, and caries. Maintaining plaque control and preventing separation from abutment teeth are crucial for long-term success.
