Clinical performance of tooth implant-supported removable partial dentures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the clinical performance of tooth implant-supported removable partial dentures in terms of abutment survival in relation to the attachment system used.

Methods

An electronic search in MEDLINE/PubMed Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases was performed. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Survival rates after 3 years and 5 years, loss, and complication rates per 100 years were estimated by Poisson regression.

Results

A total of twelve studies were included; eleven studies were used for the meta-analysis. Survival analysis for mixed attachments showed an estimated survival rate of 100% after 3 years and 5 years. For uniform attachments, the estimated survival ra
