Introduction: The use of implant-supported removable partial dentures (ISRPDs) has recently attracted interest; however, available information on treatment outcomes is poor.

Objective: To analyze the existing literature on the clinical performance of ISRPDs in terms of implant survival rates, marginal bone loss, technical-prosthetic complications and patient satisfaction.

Methodology: An electronic search was performed through PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus, using the terms: "Implant-supported removable partial dentures", "Patient's satisfaction", "Quality of life", "Removable partial".

Results: Overall, implant survival rates reported by the included studies ranged from 91% to 100%. Mean marginal bone loss around implants ranged from 0.64 to 2.11 mm, with stable periodontal conditions around implants. Some prosthetic complications and need for repair are reported with regard to relining, replacement of the elastic component of the attachment and damage to the prosthetic structure. All selected studies reported significant improvement in quality of life and patient satisfaction with the use of ISRPDs compared to distal extension removable partial denture (DERPDs).

Conclusions: The use of ISRPD should be considered a favorable rehabilitation treatment for partially edentulous patients because they provide high implant survival rates with low marginal bone loss values, as well as improvements in quality of life and patient satisfaction.
