The impact of bite force on the stability of dental implants.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Since dental implants (DI) are endo-osseous implants that are inserted into the bone and periodontium, which ultimately support the occlusal load, a patient's bite force (BF) may overburden the supporting DI, leading to bone loss and DI failure. The purposes of this study were to explore the effect of the BF on DIs in different locations of jaws, of both genders during three visits, to investigate DI stability in different locations of jaws, of both genders during three visits, and to assess the association of BF and DI stability(ISQ) with the influence of variables (time, implant location, and gender).

Methods

The current cohort study involved 80 individuals of both genders who had lost some teeth and needed DIs for the anterior and posterior regions of the jaws.
