咬合様式の違いがインプラント治療結果に及ぼす影響 : 文献考察

Occlusion, including the occlusal scheme, occlusal contact, and occlusal force, has been discussed by many researchers. Traditionally, these arguments have been empirical in clinical experience and not based on scientific evidence.
The aim of this study was to analyze the published literature on clinical follow-up studies focusing on the occlusal scheme of implant treatment. Two databases, “PubMed” and “Japana Centra Revuo Medicina” were searched to retrieve research papers on clinical follow-up studies focusing on the occlusal scheme of implant treatment. Twelve papers were selected from the database using the criteria, and were reviewed. Little scientific evidence supports a relationship between the occlusal scheme and the outcome of osseointegrated implant treatment. Within the limitations of the articles, this review indicates that scientific evidence of occlusal scheme of implant treatment is insufficient. Occlusal scheme has little effect on the survival rate of implants and mutually protected occlusion is used in a fixed superstructure and balanced occlusion is used in a removable superstructure.
