Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of minimally invasive dental implants in patients with missing free end of dentition. METHODS: Eighty patients with free end loss of dentition who were treated in Jiashan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to April 2022 were selected, including 42 patients who received minimally invasive dental implant treatment (experimental group) and 38 patients who received conventional dental implant treatment (control group).The differences of operation time, postoperative pain, wound healing time, masticatory function, implant stability and alveolar crest bone resorption were compared between the two groups. SPSS 22.0 software package was used for data analysis. RESULTS: The operative time, wound healing time, postoperative red and swollen time and postoperative pain VAS scores of the experimental group were (24.12± 3.06) min, (3.50± 0.61) d, (1.22± 0.32) d and (2.50± 0.46) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than those of the control group (P< 0.05). The periodontal biting force and masticatory efficiency of the experimental group were (129.87± 20.05) Ibs and (89.96± 9.11) %, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of control group (P< 0.05). Implant stability coefficient (ISQ) of the experimental group was 70.05± 4.15, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (63.35± 5.21) (P< 0.05). Alveolar crest bone resorption of the experimental group was (0.56± 0.14) mm, significantly lower than that of the control group (0.63± 0.12) mm (P< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive dental implantation has a good effect in the treatment of missing free end of dentition, which can significantly improve the patient's occlusal efficiency with good implant stability.
