The 7th ITI Consensus Conference was held in Lisbon, May 2023. A total of five areas in the field of implant dentistry were identified to be addressed and covered, each assigned to a specific working group. The topic assigned to Group 4 was “patient benefits”. The group prepared three systematic reviews entitled 1) “Treatment effect of implant-supported fixed complete dentures and implant overdentures on patient-reported outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis”; 2) “Oral function in completely edentulous patients rehabilitated with implant-supported dental prostheses: A systematic review and meta-analysis”; and 3) “Effect of dental implant therapy on the preservation of orofacial tissues: A systematic review and meta-analysis”.
