Abstract
- Purpose: The study aimed to compare the mixing ability (MA), comminuting ability (CA), and maximum bite force (MBF) of single-implant overdentures (IODs) and clinically acceptable complete dentures (CDs) through a randomized crossover control trial.<br />Methods: New CDs were fabricated for 22 patients. One implant was inserted in the middle of the symphyseal region for each patient. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups: group IC received an IOD, whereas group CI received a CD, for 2 months; the treatments were interchanged for the next 2 months. The MA, CA, and MBF were evaluated with the old CDs, new CDs (at the end of CD treatment period), and IODs (at the end of IOD treatment period).<br />Results: The MA, CA, and MBF of the IODs were significantly higher than those of the old and new CDs (pā<ā0.01). New CDs only showed a significant improvement in MA (pā<ā0.05), while there were no significant differences in CA and MBF between the old and new CDs.<br />Conclusions: Compared with the CD, IOD is more effective in restoring the MA, CA, and MBF of edentulous mandibles.<br /> (Copyright © 2019 Japan Prosthodontic Society.
