The effect of denture restoration and dental implant restoration in the treatment of dentition defect: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

Background: Dentition defect is a common symptom in clinical dental patients. This study compared the clinical effects of denture restoration and dental implant restoration in the treatment of dentition defects through meta-analysis.Methods: Data retrieval was conducted through the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang databases. A total of 479 related literatures published in English or Chinese from 2013 to 2020 were included. Literature screening, data extraction and comprehensive evaluation, and analysis by metaanalysis was performed by 3 authors.Results: A total of 17 studies and 1,459 patients were included. Among the 17 studies, the effective rate of treatment between the two groups was compared and the experimental group rate was significantly higher than that of the control group [odds ratio (OR) =6.149, 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.103-9.215, P<0.001]; the mastication function score was compared, and was higher in the experimental group than in the control group [standardized mean difference (SMD) =1.632, 95% CI: 1.039-2.224, P<0.001]; the retention function score was compared, and was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (SMD =1.775, 95% CI: 1.095-2.455), P<0.001); the aesthetics score was also compared, and was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (SMD =1.300, 95% CI: 0.499-2.100, P=0.001). Among 17 studies, 15 compared the comfort score, which was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (SMD =1.357, 95% CI: 0.455-2.258, P=0.003).Conclusions: Compared with denture restoration, dental implant restoration is more effective in the treatment of dentition defect with a higher comprehensive score of functional restoration.

Antibacterial and Antioxidant Effects of Magnesium Alloy on Titanium Dental Implants

“…In the daily diagnosis and treatment of stomatology, implants will be used in the process of repairing dentition defects to provide a solid base for the restoration of posterior crowns [ 1 , 2 ]. However, there is also a probability of implantation failure, such as poor bone healing around the implant and inflammatory hyperplasia [ 3 , 4 ], which will increase the risk of dental implant failure, cause adverse physical and mental effects to patients, and increase the medical burden.…”

[Retracted] Investigation of the Effect of Oral Implant Surgery on Clinical Treatment and Oral Function of Patients with Dentition Loss

“…e main clinical treatment for dentition loss is the use of denture-assisted fixation therapy. Although it is effective in the short term, long-term use will lead to the loosening or fracture of a denture and other problems, causing a great impact on the physical and mental health of patients [3].…”

Orthodontic treatment combined with 3D printing guide plate implant restoration for edentulism and its influence on mastication and phonic function

“…In the treatment of dentition defects, a substantial inflammatory response inevitably occurs in the alveolar bone of the lesion site, which is markedly destructive to both the bone surface and the periosteal structure. A meta-analysis of studies comparing the clinical outcomes of denture restorations and implants for the treatment of edentulism showed that implant restorations are more effective in the treatment of edentulism than dentures[ 13 ]. However, challenges still exists.…”
