Abstract
Statement of problem
The medium-term effect of an implant-retained mandibular overdenture on bone remodeling in the maxilla and posterior mandible of edentulous patients and the effects on quality of life have not been established. Purpose
The purpose of this prospective observational clinical study was to evaluate the 3-year effects of implant-retained mandibular overdentures on oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and bone remodeling in different regions of the maxilla and mandible in participants with atrophic or nonatrophic mandibles. Material and methods
Twenty-six edentulous participants received 2 narrow-diameter implants in the anterior mandible. Mandibular bone atrophy was categorized from presurgical panoramic radiographs according to the Cawood and Howell criteria. OHRQoL was assessed by using the OHIP-EDENT questionnaire. Participants were evaluated annually for 3 years to measure the marginal bone loss and bone area of the posterior mandible, and the anterior and posterior regions of the maxilla were assessed annually through panoramic radiographs. The data were analyzed by using a mixed-effects linear regression to estimate time-dependent trends and a mixed-effect linear regression model to verify differences between groups. The Pearson correlation coefficients between bone variables and 3-year OHIP-EDENT outcomes were calculated. Results
In the third year, atrophic participants had a significantly lower marginal bone loss (0.02 mm) than nonatrophic participants (-0.39 mm) (P=.030). Differences were also found in the functional limitation (nonatrophic=1.82 ±1.75, atrophic participants=1.92 ±1.54; P=.018) and handicap domains (nonatrophic=0.36 ±0.54, atrophic participants=0.08 ±0.27; P=.003). For nonatrophic participants, comparisons between baseline and 3-year outcomes showed significant bone resorption as indicated by the area ratio in the anterior maxilla (P=.035), posterior maxilla (P=.022), and posterior mandible (P=.009). Conversely, the bone area of the anterior maxilla (P=.019) decreased in atrophic participants between baseline and year 1, while the bone area of the anterior maxilla and posterior mandible increased (P<.001) between years 1 and 3. Higher effect sizes were observed in the OHRQoL domains of the atrophic participants. Conclusions
Bone atrophy influenced both the OHRQoL profile and bone remodeling profile in different regions of the mandible and maxilla in mandibular overdenture users. In atrophic participants, bone tissue in both jaws responded positively to overdenture use, with bone apposition after the first year and bone area preservation in the anterior maxilla, posterior mandible, and peri-implant regions after 3 years of follow-up.
