This error concerns both the clinic and the laboratory additionally it may be due to simply not knowing the right criteria of the different prosthetic conceptions. The main objective of this study, through a survey conducted among dentists practicing in different Moroccan cities, was to have a global overview of the incidence and prevalence of the different types of failures encountered in fixed prostheses and their different manifestations. Material and Method: This is a national descriptive survey that was conducted among 100 dentists practicing in the private and public sectors. Results: 63% of the dentists surveyed reported that pain was the most frequently encountered reason for consultations. The failure rate with ceramic crowns was 16% according to the dentists surveyed. Endodontic failures were the most frequent problem encountered by dentists with a rate of 66%. Periodontal failures were second with a percentage of 54% aesthetic failures were 36%. Conclusion: Fixed prosthesis is certainly one of the fields of dentistry in which the clinical and laboratory development is the most delicate. The approach must be global, to meet the biological, functional, aesthetic and comfort requirements of the patient.
