Abstract
Statement of problem: Scientific evidence to determine the clinical performance of angled screw channel (ASC) versus straight screw channel (SC) implant-supported prostheses is lacking.
Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the mechanical and biological complications of ASC compared with those of SC implant-supported prostheses.
Material and methods: A systematic search was conducted by following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline in the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases and was supplemented with a manual search for clinical studies reporting the mechanical and biological complications of ASC compared with those of SC implant-supported prostheses. The search was focused on porcelain fracture, screw loosening or fracture, marginal bone loss (MBL), and pink esthetic score (PES). The data were extracted from selected articles and compounded to estimate the complications with a 95% confidence interval (CI) using a random effects meta-analysis. The publication bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (α=.05).
Results: A total of 4217 records were identified, and 14 studies were selected for quantitative synthesis of 629 participants with 658 ASC and 166 SC implant-supported prostheses. The meta-analyses of comparative studies showed no statistically significant difference in mechanical complications between ASC and SC prostheses, with odds ratio (OR) of 1.75 (95% CI=0.71-4.34, P=.224). Porcelain fracture and screw loosening were the most common complications with ASC prostheses. In addition, no statistically significant difference was found between ASC and SC prostheses in the MBL (mean difference=-0.07, 95% CI=-0.15-0.01, P=.077) and PES (mean difference=-0.19, 95% CI=-0.90-0.52, P=.593).
Conclusions: The clinical performance of ASC may be comparable with that of SC implant-supported prostheses in terms of mechanical and biological complications. However, the moderate level of evidence necessitates further research to validate these findings.
