Evaluate The Clinical Outcome Of Intentionally Tilted Dental Implants Supporting Fixed Restorations: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis

Abstract

Background and aim: the aim of current Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis study was evaluate the clinical outcome of Intentionally Tilted Dental Implants Supporting Fixed Restorations.

Method: From the electronic databases, PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, Web of Science, EBSCO, LIVIVO, and Embase have been used to perform a systematic literature over the last five years between 2016 and September 2021.   odds-Ratio and mean differences with 95% confidence interval (CI), fixed effect model with Mantel-Haenszel method Inverse-variance method were calculated. The Meta analysis have been evaluated with the statistical software Stata/MP v.16 (The fastest version of Stata).

Result: 552 studies were selected to review the abstracts, the full text of 38 studies was reviewed. Finally, seven studies were selected. The odds ratio of success rate and survival rate between axial and tilted implants group was (OR, 0.11 95% CI -0.22, 0.44. P=0.50) and (OR, -0.13 95% CI -1.27, 1.01. P=0.83) There was no statistically significant difference between survival rate and success rate of axial and tilted implants.

Conclusion: The present Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis study showed that there is no difference in success rate, survival rate and marginal bone loss between Tilted and Axial dental implants, similar results observed.
