In vitro studies assessing full-arch implant rehabilitations that compared photogrammetry with intraoral scanning were included. The risk of bias was assessed using the Quin Tool Method. Data were analyzed through meta- analysis in RevMan (Review Manager Cochrane), grouping the results into three subgroups: angle deviation (°), precision (μm), and trueness (μm). The search yielded 6348 studies; 11 met the eligibility criteria, and 7 provided sufficient data for quantitative meta-analysis. Photogrammetry demonstrated superior precision, with a mean difference (MD) of -0.03 (95% CI: -0.04, -0.02) and a high weight of 94.2%, indicating consistent evidence.

Although trueness exhibited expressive mean difference values, it had a lower overall weight (5.8%).
