DIGITAL OCCLUSAL ANALYSIS OF PRE AND POST SINGLE POSTERIOR IMPLANT RESTORATION DELIVERY
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the changes in occlusal force distribution on single posterior implant restorations over time and their impact on the redistribution of occlusal forces using the T-Scan system. This case series descriptive study was conducted on 20 patients at the School of Dentistry – Hanoi Medical University from June 2024 to June 2025. The occlusal forces on the implant restoration, two adjacent teeth, and the contralateral tooth were measured at four time points: before restoration placement (T0), immediately after placement (T1), at 3 months (T2), and at 6 months (T3). The results showed a statistically significant increase in implant occlusal force over time (p < 0.001), while the force on the distal adjacent tooth gradually decreased (p < 0.05). However, the occlusal force on the implant remained significantly lower than that on the distal tooth at all time points (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the occlusal force on single posterior implant restorations increased over time but remained significantly lower than that of the distal adjacent tooth during the 6-month follow-up period
