Mandibular deformation during jaw movement may cause discomfort in patients with implant-supported restorations. Splitting the prosthesis relieved pain, highlighting the importance of biological principles in dental rehabilitation.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Biomechanics
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Mandibular deformation during jaw movement is a known phenomenon.
  • Implant-supported restorations in the mandibular arch can sometimes lead to patient discomfort.
  • The correlation between mandibular deformation and patient-reported symptoms is not fully understood.

Observation:

  • A patient with a mandibular implant-supported restoration reported significant discomfort during function.
  • This discomfort correlated with observed mandibular deformation during jaw movement.
  • Conventional treatment approaches failed to alleviate the patient's symptoms.

Findings:

  • Splitting the patient's mandibular prosthesis into three sections led to complete recovery from pain and symptoms.

  • This suggests that excessive biomechanical stress, possibly due to mandibular deformation, was the primary cause of discomfort.
  • The case highlights a potential link between mandibular biomechanics and prosthetic complications.

    • Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider mandibular deformation and biomechanical forces when designing implant-supported restorations.
    • Prosthetic design modifications, such as splitting the prosthesis, may be necessary to manage functional stresses.
    • Adherence to biological principles is paramount for successful long-term outcomes in implant dentistry.
