Patient-reported outcomes of digitally vs. conventionally fabricated frameworks in removable partial dentures: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Key Points
Digital frameworks lead to improved patient-reported outcomes in removable partial dentures, with higher satisfaction rates.
The analysis revealed a significant difference in satisfaction metrics favoring digitally fabricated frameworks over conventional methods.
Systematic review and meta-analysis across multiple studies provide robust evidence regarding framework fabrication techniques.
Highlights the need for future studies to further explore the long-term impacts and clinical implications of digital versus conventional methods.
