Diet and Implant Complications
1Private practice, Willimantic, Conn.
Abstract:
A hard or coarse diet may impart a substantial off-axial load to dental implant-supported prostheses and may induce a component, implant midbody fracture or late loss of integration. This may be especially true when there is a large crown to implant ratio. A patient who is able to generate an excessive bite force along with chronic cyclic loading with hard or coarse foods may have implant body or component fractures. There are no established parameters for crown to implant ratio or for detrimental bite loads. Implant longevity may be dependent on many factors, including the supporting bone quality and volume, crown to implant ratio, implant width and length, the prosthetic occlusal scheme and bite force/arch location, and the patient's dietary load.
