AIM: The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate and compare
implant retained fixed restoration versus implant retained over denture.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Search was made in 2 databases including PubMed
and PubMed Central. Title and abstract were screened to select studies
comparing implant retained fixed restorations versus implant retained
removable overdentures. Articles which did not follow the inclusion criteria
were excluded. Included papers were then read carefully for a second stage
filter, this was followed by manual searching of bibliography of selected
articles.
RESULTS: The search resulted in 5 included papers. One study
evaluated the masticatory function, while the other 4 evaluated the patient
satisfaction. Two of them used Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) as a measurement
tool, while the other two used VAS and Categorical Scales (CAT). Stability,
ability to chew, ability to clean, ability to speak and esthetics were the
main outcomes of the 4 included papers.
CONCLUSION: Conflicting results was observed between the fixed and
removable restorations.
