Effect of Implant Repair and Fixed Bridge Repair on Dentition Defect
Objective Exploring the efficacy of implant restorations versus fixed bridge restorations for the treatment of dental defects.Methods A total of 80 patients with dental defects who were admitted to the Department of Stomatol-ogy of Longyan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2021 to September 2023 were randomly se-lected as study objects and divided into two groups of 40 cases in each group by random number table method.Im-plant restoration treatment was the study group and fixed bridge restoration treatment was the control group.Compare of gingival sulcus fluid cytokine level,gingival indexes,and various functional scores after restoration before and after treatment in the two groups were used to compare the treatment effects of different modalities.Results After treatment,gingival sulcus fluid cytokine levels and gingival indexes decreased in both groups compared with before treatment,and the indexes in the study group were better than those in the control group,the differences were statistically signifi-cant(all P<0.05).The patients in the study group had higher functional scores after restoration than those in the con-trol group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).The total effective rate of patients in the study group after treatment was 100.00%,which was higher than 85%in the control group,and the difference was statisti-cally significant(χ2=4.505,P<0.05).Conclusion In patients with denture defect,both implant repair and fixed bridge repair can achieve ideal results,while implant repair method can better improve gingival fluid cytokines,gingival indi-cators and tooth function,and enhance the repair effect with ideal results.
