Systematic Reviews
Mechanical properties of polymethyl methacrylate as a denture base: Conventional versus CAD-CAM resin – A systematic review and meta-analysis of in vitro studies
The development of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) resin blocks with reported improved mechanical properties has simplified complete denture production. However, whether the objective of improved mechanical properties has been achieved compared with conventional heat-polymerized PMMA is not yet clear.Toxicity potential of denture adhesives: A scoping review
Denture adhesives are widely used products, but limited evidence regarding their toxicity is available.Survival and complications of monolithic ceramic for tooth-supported fixed dental prostheses: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Although recent studies have reported the success of implant-supported monolithic restorations, consensus on the use of monolithic ceramic restorations is lacking.Does the use of an adhesive improve conventional complete dentures? A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
A consensus on whether the use of a complete-denture adhesive provides a clinical benefit remains unclear.Clinical comparison between crestal and subcrestal dental implants: A systematic review and meta-analysis
How the performance of dental implants is related to their occlusogingival placement, crestal or subcrestal, is unclear.The influence of crown-to-implant ratio in single crowns on clinical outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis
A consensus about the effect of crown-to-implant (C/I) ratio in single crowns regarding the implant survival rate and marginal bone loss (MBL) is lacking.A clinical comparison of 1-piece versus 2-piece implants: A systematic review and meta-analysis
One-step dental implant surgery with a 1-piece implant has been introduced with the aim of simplifying and increasing the effectiveness of treatment and providing greater comfort for the patient. Whether these goals have been met compared with conventional 2-piece implants remains unclear.Ceramic versus metal-ceramic implant-supported prostheses: A systematic review and meta-analysis
There is insufficient evidence to recommend the restorative material for implant-supported prostheses.Optimal number of implants for complete-arch implant-supported prostheses with a follow-up of at least 5 years: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Consensus is lacking regarding the optimal number of implants for supporting complete-arch prostheses with good survival rates and lower prosthetic complications and marginal bone loss.
