This study was done to evaluate the 3-year result of 5-6 MDIs.
From a recent study, it
was illustrated that mini dental implant (MDIs) for maxillary overdentures
offers significant Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) improvement. A
maxillary MDI overdenture treatment provides substantial OHRQoL enhancement
when not less than 5 MDIs stay, maintaining functional ease.
This study was done to
evaluate the 3-year result of 5-6 MDIs.
In this study, 3-year
results of 5-6 MDIs in the maxilla were evaluated. The pain and surgery
discomfort after the surgery were evaluated with the help of visual analogue
score. OHRQoL was examined by Oral Health Impact Profile-14 before the surgery,
after the surgery and post-prosthetic connection, and after three years in
utility.
Among 204 placed MDIs, 164 were still in the origin place after three years. The OHIP-14 score does not get affected by the failure of one MDI, but it was affected by multiple losses.
It was concluded that
maxillary MDI overdenture treatment is successful in offering notable OHRQoL
improvement in cases when at least 5 MDIs last.
