Abstract: PURPOSE: To observe the effect of individualized healing abutment on patients with posterior dental implant prosthesis and its influence on implant stability and food impaction. METHODS: Eighty patients who received posterior dental implants in Jiangsu Stomatological Hospital from June 2013 to June 2018 were selected as the study subjects. According to the different healing abutment, they were divided into traditional operation group (40 cases) and experimental group (40 cases). Patients in the experimental group used personalized healing abutment on the basis of traditional dental implants. Differences in dental implant stability, food impaction score, masticatory efficiency and incidence of complications between the two groups after implant restoration were compared. SPSS 13.0 software package was used to analyze the data. RESULTS: At 1, 3 and 6 months after operation, the stability of implants in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01); One, 3 and 6 months after operation, the food impaction score in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the traditional operation group(P<0.01); There was no significant difference in masticatory ability between the two groups before operation; After treatment, the occlusive force and masticatory efficiency in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the traditional operation group (P<0.05). The incidence of complications such as tooth loosening and periodontitis in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the traditional operation group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Individualized healing abutment has a good therapeutic effect on patients with posterior implant prosthesis, and can significantly improve the incidence of food impaction and complications with a good application value.
