The Oral Microbiota01:27

The Oral Microbiota

The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Oral Rehabilitation
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Implant-retained mandibular overdentures enhance oral function.
  • Long-term effects on oral function after implant treatment require evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the long-term effects of mandibular implant treatment on oral function.
  • To quantify maximum bite force and masticatory performance 10 years after implant treatment.

Main Methods:

  • 18 edentulous patients were re-evaluated 10 years after a randomized clinical trial.
  • Patients received two mandibular implants and a new denture with various attachments.

Main Results:

  • Maximum bite force more than doubled (162 N to 341 N) and masticatory cycles decreased (55 to 27).

Real-Time Dynamic Navigation System for the Precise Quad-Zygomatic Implant Placement in a Patient with a Severely Atrophic Maxilla

Published on: October 18, 2021

  • No significant changes in bite force or masticatory performance were observed between the initial evaluation and the 10-year follow-up.
  • Implant-retained overdenture bite force remained lower than that of dentate subjects.

    • Conclusions:

    • Mandibular implant treatment significantly improves oral function.
    • These functional improvements are maintained for at least 10 years.
    • Implant treatment offers a long-term solution for enhanced oral function.
