Objective:
The aim of this study is to demonstrate if dental implant restoration can improve the clinical efficacy, masticatory function and comfort in patients with dentition defects.
Methods:
The clinical data of 90 patients with single tooth loss treated in Yuyao People's Hospital of Zhejiang Province from May 2018 to May 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were enrolled and divided into two groups. The control group (CG; n=45) was intervened by traditional fixed partial denture (FPD) restoration, and the observation group (OG; n=45) was treated with dental implant restoration. The clinical efficacy was evaluated, and amelioration of tooth-related indexes and clinical indicators 2 years after treatment were observed. The improvement of masticatory function and comfort scores were compared. The adverse reactions during treatment were recorded, and patients' satisfaction with the treatment was calculated. Logistic regression was performed to assess the independent risk factors for inefficacy of the treatments.
Results:
After treatment, the OG presented with lower gingival index, plaque index and sulcus bleeding index.
