对于老年患者和双种植体覆盖义齿(2-IOD)佩戴者,改善咀嚼性能(MP)的适当加载方案仍不清楚。这项研究旨在比较由磁性附件保留的2-IOD的长期MP和立即加载(IL)和常规加载(CL)的最大咬合力。19例无牙患者被随机分配到IL组(n=10)或CL组(n=9)。在IL组中,植入物在插入的同一天装载,而CL组在插入后3个月加载。使用磁性附件将所有覆盖义齿保留到植入物上。MP,通过一块变色口香糖和软糖果冻测试来测量,和最大咬合力,使用咬合力测量装置测量,在基线和3-,4-,5年随访。
在任何时间点,IL和CL组之间的MP和最大咬合力均未观察到显着差异。然而,在3年时间点,IL组的MP显著增高(P=0.036).最大咬合力显示与MP有显著相关性,在5年时都使用了变色口香糖和软糖果冻。
经过长期观察,IL组和CL组之间MP和最大咬合力没有显着差异。然而,与植入前插入全口义齿相比,IL组MP在3年时显著改善。此外,5年时最大咬合力与MP显著相关。

The appropriate loading protocol to improve masticatory performance (MP) is still unclear in elderly patients and two-implant overdentures (2-IODs) wearers. This
study aimed to compare the long-term MP and maximum occlusal force of immediate loading (IL) and conventional loading (CL) of 2-IODs retained by magnetic attachments. Nineteen edentulous patients were randomly assigned to either an IL (n=10) or CL group (n = 9). In the IL group, the implant was loaded on the same day as insertion, whereas it was loaded 3 months after insertion in the CL group. Magnetic attachments were used to retain all overdentures to the implants. MP, measured by a piece of color-changeable chewing gum and a gummy jelly test, and maximum occlusal force, measured using an occlusal force measuring device, were assessed in both groups at baseline and at 3-, 4-, and 5-year follow-ups.
No significant differences were observed in the MP and the maximum occlusal force between the IL and CL groups at any time point. However, a significantly higher MP was observed at the 3-year time point in the IL group (P = 0.036). The maximum occlusal force revealed a significant correlation with MP, both with the color-changeable chewing gum and gummy jelly at 5 years.
After long-term observation, no significant differences in MP and maximum occlusal force were observed between the IL and CL groups. However, compared to pre-implant insertion of the complete denture, the MP in the IL group significantly improved at 3 years. Furthermore, the maximum occlusal force was significantly correlated with MP at 5 years.
