Occlusal changes on implant-supported single crowns with one year follow-up after loading: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This systematic review evaluated the occlusal changes after loading with implant-supported single crowns.

Sources: An electronic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library for randomized (RCTs) or non-randomized controlled clinical trials (CCTs), with a minimum of 10 patients.

Study Selection: Studies reporting the occlusal force changes on implant-supported single crowns - with natural teeth as antagonist - measured at baseline and after loading periods were included.
