Patient-Reported Outcomes of Metal and Acrylic Resin Removable Partial Dentures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The reviewed studies showed that there was no significant difference between metal and acrylic resin RPDs in patient satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life. Metal dentures were associated with higher patient compliance rates and were preferred more by patients compared to acrylic resin dentures. However, the reviewed studies had low levels of evidence and therefore, high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to conclusively address the question of this review.
