Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Ful-arch dental implant and sectional repair are mainly for patients with edentulous mandible, both of which have their own characteristics. Ful-arch dental implant restoration is suitable for the mandibular protection, but has unfavorable effects on the prosthesis; segmented restoration has better effects on the prosthesis. OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical effectiveness of ful-arch dental implant and sectional repair in edentulous mandible patients as wel as patient satisfaction. METHODS: Forty patients with edentulous mandible underwent ful-arch dental implant restoration (n=28) or sectional repair (n=12). After restoration, al the patients were folowed for 1 year. Clinical examination and X-ray observations were performed to evaluate the osseointegration rate. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The success rate of implants was 100% in the ful-arch group and 98% in the sectional repair group, and there was no difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). The successful restoration rates were 96.5% and 98% in the two groups, respectively, with no significant difference (P > 0.05). Bone resorption showed no difference between the two groups at 3-4 months after implantation or at 12 months after restoration. Patients in the two groups were al satisfied with masticatory function, fixed effect, subjective comfort and pronunciation are satisfactory, and there was no statisticaly significant difference (P > 0.05). However, beautiful evaluation, maintenance convenience and total satisfaction were significantly higher in the ful-arch group than the sectional repair group (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that both ful-arch dental implant restoration and sectional repair can have better effects on edentulous mandible, but the former one is superior to the latter one in the folowing aspects: beautiful evaluation, maintenance convenience and total satisfaction.
