Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: This systematic review followed the notification items for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses ( PRISMA) and was recorded in the International Prospective Registry of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under number CRD42020183167. An electronic search in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases for articles published until September 2020 was conducted. The search strategy used the terms ( complete denture OR denture OR edentulous OR edentulism) AND (quality of sleep OR sleep OR apnea OR obstructive sleep apnea). Only prospective, retrospective, controlled, and randomized clinical studies of patients wearing complete dentures, studies comparing sleep with and without the prosthesis, and studies in which patients were diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea by polysomnography were included in the review. RESULTS: In total, four articles were selected for the qualitative and quantitative analyses. A total of 144 patients, with an average age of 60 years, were studied. The meta-analysis showed that there was no statistical difference in the apnea-hypopnea index between using and not using the prosthesis during sleep. CONCLUSIONS:
