Sumario:The systematic review of the literature aimed to compare the conventional and digital impression methods for making fixed partial dentures using the current literature and to verify the applicability of the methods in the clinical routine. A search was carried out in the PubMed database using the keywords: Denture, Partial, Fixed and Dental Impression Technique from 2017 to 2022, of studies published in full, in English and free of charge. 520 articles were obtained from PubMed, 501 of which were from 2017 to 2022. After reading the titles and abstracts, 12 articles were excluded. In the end, 6 articles were selected, and 6 articles were later added by cross-reference, totaling 12 articles. Both impressions are good methods to perform impressions in fixed partial dentures, each method having its applications, advantages and disadvantages, and it is up to the dental surgeon to select the impression method to be used, considering the time spent for the impression, the learning curve, the personal, practical and social background, in addition to the cost used to acquire materials, clinical hours and laboratory work in the short and long term.
