Implant-supported dentures offer limited improvements in chewing performance compared to conventional dentures. However, specific implant designs show advantages for certain patient groups with severe mandibular bone loss.

Area of Science:

  • Dental prosthetics
  • Biomaterials science
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Review of studies comparing masticatory performance between implant-supported/retained dentures and conventional dentures.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on objective assessments and excluded single-tooth implants.

Discussion:

  • Fixed implant-supported partial dentures showed no significant masticatory improvement over conventional removable partial dentures.
  • Mandibular implant-supported or retained overdentures combined with maxillary conventional complete dentures significantly improved masticatory performance in specific populations.
  • Implant type and attachment system had minimal impact on mandibular overdenture performance.

Key Insights:

  • Quasi-experimental studies indicated significant masticatory performance improvement with mandibular fixed implant-supported complete dentures for dissatisfied patients.

  • Implant-supported mandibular resection dentures demonstrated superior masticatory performance on the defect side compared to conventional dentures.

    • Outlook:

    • Further high-level evidence is needed to definitively support the widespread advantages of implant-supported dentures in masticatory performance.
    • Research should focus on specific patient populations and denture designs where implants offer clear benefits.
