This retrospective study evaluated clinical and radiological long-term functional and esthetic outcomes following restoration using primary teeth to support fixed all-ceramic prosthesis in patients with teeth agenesis. Methods: Patients with teeth agenesis and at least one year follow-up were included. Examinations included panoramic X-ray, clinical examination and family history records. Only primary teeth without permanent teeth underneath were chosen. All ceramic fixed restorations were used. All data were collected from patient files. Outcome parameters included: restoration parameters (restoration survival, restoration fractures, restoration detachment, restoration replacement, and secondary caries), plaque index, and gingival index. Results: The study included 58 porcelain restorations inserted in 25 individuals; mean age 12 \u00b1 2.1 years (range 10\u201319 years); mean number of missing teeth 12.3 \u00b1 9 (range 6\u201312). Mean follow-up 48 \u00b1 6 months (range 12\u201360 months). All restorations survived up to last follow-up, rendering a survival rate of 100%. Restorations outcome\u2014porcelain chipping (9%), detachment (2%), no restoration replacement nor secondary caries, mean gingival index\u20140.7 \u00b1 0.5 and mean plaque index\u20140.9 \u00b1 0.3. Conclusions: In tooth agenesis, restoration using primary teeth to support fixed all-ceramic prosthesis is a viable treatment alternative.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children9060804","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]],"date-time":"2022-05-31T00:25:12Z","timestamp":1653956712000},"page":"804","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Primary Teeth Supported Fixed Prosthesis\u2014A Predictable Treatment Alternative"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Sarit","family":"Naishlos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry, The Faculty of Medicine, The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5755-7526","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liat","family":"Chaushu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, The Faculty of Medicine, The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oded","family":"Ghelfan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Rehabilitation, The Faculty of Medicine, The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7290-4357","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joseph","family":"Nissan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Rehabilitation, The Faculty of Medicine, The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Peretz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry, The Faculty of Medicine, The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7186-1738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tal","family":"Ratson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry, The Faculty of Medicine, The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5482-0264","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gil","family":"Ben-Izhack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Rehabilitation, The Faculty of Medicine, The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Moshe","family":"Davidovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Rehabilitation, The Faculty of Medicine, The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4114-2852","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sigalit","family":"Blumer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry, The Faculty of Medicine, The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"9378325","article-title":"Hypodontia: An update on its etiology, classification, and clinical management","volume":"2017","author":"Antoun","year":"2017","journal-title":"Biomed.
