Systematic Reviews
Patient-reported outcome measures and clinical assessment of implant-supported overdentures and fixed prostheses in mandibular edentulous patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
A consensus based on patients’ perceptions as to whether to use overdentures or fixed prostheses to rehabilitate mandibular edentulous arches is limited.Long-term outcomes of different loading protocols for implant-supported mandibular overdentures: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Evidence provided by implant-supported mandibular overdenture research on different loading protocols is important. However, methodological inconsistency, as well as inadequate reporting of results, hampers a consistent decision in terms of clinical applicability.Does the application of an adhesive layer improve the bond strength of etched and silanized glass-ceramics to resin-based materials? A systematic review and meta-analysis
A consensus on whether to use an adhesive layer on glass-ceramics after etching with hydrofluoric acid and applying a silane-coupling agent is lacking.Does the natural maxillary dentition influence the survival rate of mandibular metal-resin implant-supported fixed complete dentures? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Consensus is lacking regarding the influence of the maxillary dentition on the survival rate of a mandibular metal-resin implant-supported fixed complete denture (MRISFCD) with distal cantilevers.
