Abstract

Objectives

The necessity of a second molar region implant for Kennedy Class II classification of unilateral partially edentulous arches remains controversial. This study aims to compare the effects of implant treatment in the first and second molar regions, providing a basis for planning implant treatments for Kennedy Class II dentition.

Methods

This prospective cohort study included 16 patients with implant therapy up to the first molar and 16 patients treated up to the second molar. Bite force, masticatory function, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and food and nutrient intakes were evaluated as outcomes.

Results

While the two groups showed improvements in occlusal force and masticatory function with implant treatment, the increase was significantly greater with implant treatment extending to the second molar. The improvement in OHRQoL was comparable between both groups. Furthermore, the increases in vegetable, dietary fiber, and vitamin K intakes were significantly greater in the implant treatment group extending to the second molar.

Conclusion

From the perspective of OHRQoL, implant treatment up to the first molar may be sufficient.

期刊介绍： The goal of Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research is to advance the scientific and technical aspects relating to dental implants and related scientific subjects. Dissemination of new and evolving information related to dental implants and the related science is the primary goal of our journal. The range of topics covered by the journals will include but be not limited to: New scientific developments relating to bone Implant surfaces and their relationship to the surrounding tissues Computer aided implant designs Computer aided prosthetic designs Immediate implant loading Immediate implant placement Materials relating to bone induction and conduction New surgical methods relating to implant placement New materials and methods relating to implant restorations Methods for determining implant stability A primary focus of the journal is publication of evidenced based articles evaluating to new dental implants, techniques and multicenter studies evaluating these treatments. In addition basic science research relating to wound healing and osseointegration will be an important focus for the journal.
