Maxillary sinus lift (augmentation) with long implants vs Short implants (5 to 8.5 mm) without sinus augmentation

Patient satisfaction · Patients with missing teeth and an atrophic posterior maxilla, with residual bone height between 4 and 9 mm below the maxillary sinus

Fixed dental prosthesis (cantilever FDP) vs Removable dental prosthesis (RDP)

Patient satisfaction with prosthesis · Patients with a shortened dental arch (missing posterior teeth)

Fixed dental prosthesis (cantilever FDP) showed no clear difference in patient satisfaction with prosthesis compared with removable dental prosthesis (RDP); GRADE not reported.

Immediate-delayed implants (placed within 8 weeks after tooth extraction) vs Delayed implants (placed at least 2 months after extraction)

Satisfaction with treatment ‐ general · Patients with compromised teeth to be extracted who require single dental implants in fresh postextraction sockets

Immediate-delayed implants (placed within 8 weeks after tooth… led to higher patients' general satisfaction of treatment compared with delayed implants (placed at least 2 months after extraction); GRADE not reported.

Hyperbaric oxygen vs No HBO therapy

Overall denture satisfaction (0-10 scale) · Patients who have had radiotherapy and who have missing teeth that require replacement with osseointegrated dental implants

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy showed no clear difference in patient satisfaction (overall denture satisfaction) compared with no HBO therapy; GRADE not reported.

Lingualised teeth (maxillary anatomic + mandibular non-anatomic; lingualised occlusion scheme) vs Zero-degree teeth (non-anatomic, cuspless)

Patient perceived satisfaction (denture preference) · Edentulous adult patients requiring complete dentures

Lingualised teeth (maxillary anatomic + mandibular non-anatomic;… led to higher patient perceived satisfaction (denture preference) compared with zero-degree teeth (non-anatomic, cuspless); GRADE not reported.

Metal-free FDPs (zirconia ceramic) vs Metal-ceramic FDPs

Patient satisfaction (measured by patient satisfaction or aesthetic scales) · Adults (18 years or older) needing a three-unit fixed dental prosthesis (FDP)

It is very uncertain whether metal-free FDPs (zirconia ceramic) changes aesthetic evaluation (patient aesthetic satisfaction changes) compared with metal-ceramic FDPs (very low certainty).

Patients' aesthetic perception (satisfaction with crown appearance) · Patients with compromised teeth to be extracted who require single dental implants in fresh postextraction sockets

Immediate-delayed implants (placed within 8 weeks after tooth… showed no clear difference in patients' aesthetic perception (satisfaction with crown appearance) compared with delayed implants (placed at least 2 months after extraction); GRADE not reported.
