Abstract:

Objective: To analyze changes in occlusal force distribution and occlusal contact in poste-rior partial fixed implant-supported prostheses over time, and to provide reference for the precise occlusion design, adjustment and maintenance of implant prostheses.Methods: According to certain inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients were recruited from partially edentulous patients who had received implant-supported single crown or fixed bridge in the posterior region. The patients were collected since the implant prostheses settling and scheduled for the routine examination of implant prostheses and the occlusal examinations of complete dentition after 2 weeks, 3, 6, and 12 months. Occlusal examinations were taken with the articulating papers and T-Scan Ⅲ ? (Tekscan, South Boston, USA), which could check and measure the occlusal contact condition of complete dentition. The occlusion time and relative occlusal forces of implant prostheses, mesial adjacent teeth and control teeth were recorded at the same time.Results: Thirty-seven posterior partial fixed implant prostheses in 33 patients (17 women and 16 men, aged 24-70 years) were followed up for 3-12 months (average 8.3 months). At baseline, the relative occlusal forces of implant prostheses were significantly lower than those of the corresponding control teeth (P<0.001). However, after 3 months, the relative occlusal forces of implant prostheses had significantly increased (P<0.05), while control teeth decreased significantly (P<0.05), resulting in no statistical significance between them. The implant prostheses occlusion time ratio also increased significantly from 2 weeks to 3 months (P<0.05). There was no significant difference from the third month to the sixth month, or from the sixth month to the twelfth month (P>0.05).Conclusion: Light contact and time-delayed occlusion of posterior implant prostheses changes significantly in the first three months after settling implant prostheses. These changes mainly include the advance of the time point of the implant prosthesis to start the occlusion contact, and the increase of the occlusal force of the implant prosthesis. The occlusion of posterior implant prostheses should be carefully monitored at end of the third month follow-up clinically.
