Variables collected included prosthesis delivery date, arch treated, prosthesis type, opposing arch status, fracture occurrence, and denture base material. Prosthesis survival was estimated using the Kaplan\u2013Meier method. Potential risk factors were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 302 prostheses, 111 fractured over a median follow-up of 1.6 years. The 1- and 5-year prosthesis survival rates were 85.1% and 47.7%, respectively. Opposing arch status was the only significant risk factor for fracture. Relative to complete dentures, implant-supported prostheses, teeth with removable partial dentures, and natural teeth showed 3.026, 2.395, and 2.794-fold higher hazards of fracture, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This research reveals survival rates of removable prostheses in patients with maxillofacial defects and highlights opposing arch status as a significant fracture risk factor.
