Clinical assessment of food impaction after implant restoration: a retrospective analysis

In the current study incidence of food impaction between implant-supported fixed dental prostheses and adjacent teeth was determined factors that influence were identified. Seven hundred seventy-nine implant prosthetic crowns 879 sites from a pool 489 patients retrospectively studied. Food existed in 16.6% with restorations at follow-up evaluations. occurred more frequently on mesial aspect prosthesis molar area. Among affected impaction, proximal contact loss shown to be major cause (78.6%), while distal aspects 58.0% 20.6%, respectively. Based single-factor analysis variance, gender, location, prosthesis, lost time before restoration influenced (P < 0.05). conclusion, highly associated impaction. Thus, area, should fully considered. Guidance proper use maintenance is essential achieve an optimal outcome.
