Background and aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of tooth-supported fixed prostheses among periodontitis and non-periodontitis patients. Method: Databases of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, ISI Web of knowledge and Embase were searched for systematic literature between 2011 to 30 November 2022. Data analysis was performed using STATA/MP V17 software. 95% confidence interval for effect size with fixed effect model and Inverse-variance method were calculated. Result: In the initial review, duplicate studies were eliminated and abstracts of 203 studies were reviewed, the full text of 54 studies was reviewed by two authors, finally, 7 studies were selected. Failure rate of tooth-supported fixed prostheses was 8% (ES, 8% 95% CI -0.80, 0.96), biological complications were 4% (ES, 4% 95% CI -0.93 1.02) and technical complications were 22% (ES, 22% 95% CI -0.76 1.20). Conclusion: Based on the current meta-analysis, the failure rate of tooth-supported fixed prostheses was low, and this therapeutic approach can be used to restore chewing function in patients with advanced periodontitis.
