Abstract

ABSTRACT

Aim: The implant-retained
mandibular overdentures are standard care of the edentulous patients. Function,
phonetics and satisfaction of the patient are decisive to acquire prospering
treatment results. Passive fit between the implants and the denture framework
is important for restoration of the implants. Accurate impression is primary
factor to obtain fitted denture. Several impression techniques (single stage,
double, and functional impression techniques) described making impression of
the implant-retained overdentures. The aim of this study was to evaluate
influence of two different implant-retained overdenture impression techniques
to quality of life of the patients. 

Materials and Method: Six women edentulous patients participated in this study. 2
implant-retained overdentures were fabricated using two different impression
techniques per patient. The first overdentures were produced using the single
stage close tray impression technique. After 6 months, the functional
impression technique was used to fabricate the second overdentures. 13
questions were asked to the patients about both of their dentures in the first
follow up visits those two days after the delivery of their overdentures. The
Mann-Whitney U statistical analysis was performed on the acquired data.

Results: The
patients satisfied with the performance of both of the overdentures. Half of
the participants complained soreness of the gums under the overdenture that was
fabricated using the close tray impression technique. Other questionnaire items
were shown no statistically significant differences.

Conclusion: The single stage close tray, and the functional impression techniques are
used confidently to fabricate the implant-retained mandibular overdentures. The
functional impression technique decreased chair time of the post-insertion
maintenance.

İMPLANT DESTEKLİ OVERDENTURELARLA TEDAVİ EDİLEN TAM DİŞSİZ HASTALARDA ÖLÇÜ TEKNİĞİNİN MEMNUNİYETE ETKİSİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ: BİR PİLOT ÇALIŞMA

ÖZ

Amaç: İmplant destekli
overdenture uygulamaları tam dişsiz hastalar için standart tedavi
yöntemlerindendir. Fonksiyon, fonasyon ve hasta memnuniyeti başarılı tedavi
sonuçları elde etmek için belirleyicidir. İmplant restorasyonlarında, implant
ve protez altyapısı arasındaki pasif uyum önem arzetmektedir. Tam uyumlu
protezler için ölçünün doğruluğu birincil faktördür. İmplant destekli
overdenturelarda ölçünün alınması için birkaç ölçü tekniği (tek aşama, çift aşama
ve fonksiyonel ölçü teknikleri) tanımlanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, iki farklı
implant destekli overdenture ölçü tekniğinin hastaların yaşam kalitesine olan
etkisinin değerlendirilmesidir.  

Materyal ve Metot: Çalışmamıza altı kadın
dişsiz hasta katılmıştır. Her hasta için iki farklı ölçü tekniği kullanılarak
iki tane implant destekli overdenture protez yapılmıştır. Birinci
overdenturelar, tek aşama kapalı kaşık ölçü tekniği kullanılarak
hazırlanmıştır. Altı ay sonra fonksiyonel ölçü tekniği kullanılarak ikinci
overdenture protezler yapılmıştır. Protezlerin tesliminden sonraki ilk kontolde
hastalara protezleri ile ilgili 13 soruluk anket yöneltilmiştir. Elde edilen
veriler Mann-Whitney U istatistiksel analizi uygulanarak değerlendirilmiştir.       

Bulgular: Hastalar hazırlanan iki
protezin de performan- sından memnun kalmışlardır. Katılımcıların yarısı kapalı
kaşık tekniği ile yapılan overdenture protezin altındaki yu- muşak dokudaki
yaralardan yakınmışlardır. Anketteki di- ğer sorular istatistiksel olarak
anlamlı fark göstermemiştir. 

Sonuç: Tek aşama kapalı kaşık ölçü
tekniği ile fonksiyo- nel ölçü tekniği implant destekli overdentureları hazırla-
mak için güvenle kulanılabilirler. Fonksiyonel ölçü tekniği protez tesliminden
sonra harcanan hasta başı zamanını azaltmıştır.
