Evaluation of Bite Force in Hybrid Implants
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: The number of teeth in the oral cavity and the contact between them are the most important factors which determine the masticatory efficiency. Hence replacement of missing tooth has been a challenge to dentists.Objective: To measure the maximum bite force when the replacement of the missing teeth was done with hybrid implants. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study maximum bite force was recorded in 10 patients rehabilitated with hybrid implants using Bite force meter.Maximum bite force values were recorded in all the 10 patients during the follow ups such as immediate, 10th day & 3 months post operatively. Maximum bite force was also recorded Immediate & 3 months post loading.Results: The rehabilitation with hybrid implants has increased the bite force on both the sides (i.e the rehabilitated and the opposite side) from preoperative to 3months postloading when the missing tooth was replaced with hybrid implants. Conclusion: Replacement of maxillary or mandibular missing posterior tooth with hybrid implant showed a marked increase in the bite force from preoperative to 6months postoperative period.
