ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aim of this study was to obtain objective and standardized information on masticatory function and patient satisfaction following second molar single implant therapy.METHODS:
Twenty adult patients, who had restored second molar single implants more than 1 month before the study, were enrolled in this study. All patients received a chewing test using peanuts before and after insertion of the implant prosthesis, with a questionnaire and visual analogue scale (VAS) to evaluate the effect of second molar single implant therapy.RESULTS:
This study obtained standardized information on the masticatory function objectively (e.g., P, R, X50) before (Pre-insertion) and after insertion (Post-insertion) of the implant prosthesis. Masticatory performance (P) after insertion of the implant prosthesis significantly increased from 67.8+/-9.9 to 84.3+/-8.5% (P<0.0001). With the implant prosthesis, the P value increased by 24%. The masticatory efficiency index (R) of Post-insertion is higher than that of Pre-insertion (P<0.0001). With the implant prosthesis, the R value increased by 29%. The median particle size (X50) of Post-insertion is lower than that of Pre-insertion (P<0.0001). More than 90% of the patients were satisfied with the second molar single implant therapy from a functional point of view.CONCLUSIONS:
These findings indicate that a second molar single implant can increase masticatory function.
