Open Proximal Contact with Implant-Supported Fixed Prostheses Compared with Tooth-Supported Fixed Prostheses: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this systematic review and meta-analysis, the odds of developing OPC were significantly higher with implant-supported prostheses than with tooth-supported prostheses. However, the data were highly heterogenous, and thus, a well-designed randomized clinical study needs to be conducted to validate the results of this systematic review.
