AbstractPurpose: This review aimed to summarize the evidence on patient-reported outcomes and clinical performance of digitally fabricated removable partial dentures (RPDs) compared to traditionally fabricated dentures. Methods: Three databases were systematically searched (PubMed, CENTRAL, and Wiley online library) for clinical studies comparing digitally and conventionally fabricated RPDs regardless of data acquisition methods used for fabrication. The Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias assessment tool 2 and the Oxford Center for Evidence-based Medicine tool were used to assess risk of bias, and level of evidence, respectively. Descriptive narrative analysis was used to summarize data on patient-reported outcomes, as there were inadequate studies to pool data in a meta-analysis. A random-effects model was used to analyze the data of framework fit accuracy. Results: Ten randomized controlled trials were included in the systematic review, and 4 were included in the meta-analysis. Two studies showed that digitally fabricated RPDs are associated with higher patient satisfaction than conventionally fabricated RPDs (with a mean difference of 12.5 mm on a 100-satisfaction scale, p =.008). The pooled standardized mean difference for framework fit accuracy was 0.49 (p = 0.02) in favor of conventionally fabricated RPDs, which showed that conventionally fabricated RPDs have a quantitatively better fit compared to digitally fabricated RPDs. However, clinical evaluation studies showed that both frameworks have clinically acceptable fit. Conclusions: Current evidence shows that digitally fabricated RPDs are associated with higher patient satisfaction compared to conventionally fabricated RPDs. However, the scarcity of literature here warrants the generalization of this conclusion. Both digitally and conventionally fabricated metal RPD frameworks showed acceptable fit clinically.
