Tooth-to-implant-connected prostheses have been described as a possible treatment option for patients with long-span edentulous situations that were not conducive for placement of an adequate number of supporting implants. In this comprehensive overview of systematic reviews, the incidence of complications and the long-term survival rates of tooth-to-implant-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs) were evaluated to determine whether it is a viable treatment.
