Purpose:
This study investigated changes in food and nutrient intake after implant-supported fixed prosthesis treatment in patients with partial edentulous posterior regions.
Methods:
This study included 30 patients who received implant treatment with fixed prostheses in the posterior region. Food and nutrient intake was evaluated using a brief self-administered diet history questionnaire at baseline and post-implant treatment, and the results were statistically analyzed.
Results:
Treatment with implant-supported fixed prostheses in patients with posterior edentulous conditions tended to increase the amounts of soy products and vegetables consumed: in particular, intake of carrot and squash was significantly increased. The total energy, protein, lipid, and carbohydrate intakes were comparable between baseline and post-implant treatment. On the other hand, the vegetable protein, α-carotene, daidzein, and genistein intakes were significantly increased, and dietary fiber and β-carotene intakes tended to be increased in patients with implant-supported fixed prostheses.
Conclusions:
Implant-supported fixed prostheses in patients with posterior edentulous conditions affected food intake, resulting in improved nutrient intake.
