Effectiveness of prosthodontic interventions and survival of remaining teeth in adult patients with shortened dental arches − a systematic review

Conclusions there is currently insufficient evidence to recommend one tooth replacement strategy over another in adult patients with reduced dentitions. Clinical significance There is a need for further research as there are insufficient numbers of good quality randomised controlled trials currently available. Authors should be encouraged to adhere to CONSORT guidelines for randomized controlled trials, and report findings in such a way that facilitates future meta-analysis.
