Abstract : [Points] 1. The 10-year survival rate ranges of restorations (both single and multiple-unit) and fixed partial dentures are 84%-97% and 79%-98%, respectively. 2. The most common complications were loss of retention (single-unit restorations) and dental caries (multiple-unit restorations and fixed partial dentures). 3. A removable partial denture confers no advantage over a shortened dental arch in terms of nutrient status and patient satisfaction. 4. Implant overdentures significantly improve patient satisfaction and quality of life as well as masticatory performance. 5. Implant overdentures conferred no advantage over conventional complete dentures in improving nutrient status and food preference. [Introduction] The prosthodontic field has long been and still is affected by advances in the technical skill of mentors and authorities. However, recent consideration of this technically driven philosophy has introduced a desire to acquire evidence-based perceptions. Although few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been carried out, there are a number of sound trials reported in specific areas that have provided evidence that can directly feed-back to dental practitioners. In this section, we discuss the survival and complications of fixed prosthodontics, the comparison of shortened dental arch and removable partial dentures in partially edentulous individuals, and the effects of implant overdentures and conventional complete dentures in totally edentulous individuals.
