Data extracted from databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane.
Data analysis used random-effects meta-analyses and qualitative subgroup analysis.
IODs showed better oral health-related quality of life outcomes than CCDs, especially for oral function.
Significant heterogeneity was noted in analysis, indicating variability among studies (I² > 90%).
Some outcomes related to denture satisfaction and masticatory performance were analyzed narratively due to methodological differences.
