This document summarizes a study investigating the longevity of fixed partial dentures (FPDs) in relation to the alloy used. 81 clinical cases using 3 different alloy types for FPD frameworks (palladium, cobalt, and nickel) were observed over 10 years. Palladium alloys showed the highest average longevity at 11.1 years. Cobalt alloys averaged 8.2 years while nickel alloys were 9.5 years. The alloys provided stability in FPDs for an average of 9.7 years. The study concluded palladium is the most suitable alloy due to its longevity and that FPDs can have good longevity thanks to alloy properties that bond metal to ceramics.
