Introduction
Edentulism helps dentists create a high-quality function of dentures and ensure patients the reliability of this mechanism. Using the method, the orthodontist’s percentage of the guarantee significantly increases, and the approach to creating a connection between prosthesis and implant becomes more successful. The advanced form of edentulism ensures dentists will have an easy installation and removal process as mechanisms consist of strong metallic parts and plastic retainers. Some attachments make the connection of the implant better and more protected. Patients can choose two types of attachments, and the main difference is the exploitation period. Patients’ preferences always differ, and professionals admit that both constructions are reliable.
Main body
By using a computer randomizer, experts decided to analyze two types of attachments and how they affect human lives. All needed information was collected at the beginning of wearing these mechanisms and, in the end, when a new installation had to take place. Patients were asked to eat different carrots, bread, and beacon products. The ability to chew these products was assessed by specific criteria, which had a 100 mm VAS questionnaire (Ferreira de Albuquerque et al., 2018). There were two research methods used in the study, called descriptive bivariate. Time limit became one of the main aspects that were under the control of these research methods. The expert managed to detect specific effects of attachments on individuals in a particular period. Also, researchers tried to find out how implants and their additional components affect a person’s stability and confidence.
The results made the research clearer, and further innovations started to be developed based on these unique facts. According to Ferreira de Albuquerque et al. (2018, p. 3), all participants took part in the experiment from the beginning until the end. It became one of the most significant aspects of the research. However, after the treatment, one of the patients stopped visiting dentists for further analysis. Even though the VAS rating for the RA attachments was higher than for the LA ones, the general performance of the implant mechanisms is significant. Researchers stated that patients could easily rely on both attachment systems. The stability of implants also differs by the type of attachment, and participants mentioned it. For instance, LA feels stable up to 3 months, while RA can be unchanging for 12 months.
The research results demonstrated different conclusions for the lower and upper jaws. While there was a significant difference in the durability of the implant and attachment mechanisms for the upper jaw, experts mentioned the opposite result could be directed to the lower jaw. Not many changes were mentioned regarding the lower part of the mouth, and it cannot be deeply analyzed compared to the upper part. However, researchers managed to gain all information to give credible and reliable information concerning both jaws.
Conclusion
To conclude everything that has been stated so far, the final finding of the paper presents enough information to make significant improvements in the dental sphere. The durability of the attachments and other mechanisms of implants were tested on real patients during the specific time period. Moreover, by analyzing the changes in health, the performance of implants was detected, and the concluding paper can ensure dentists in the effectiveness of edentulism. This fact leads to the mass use of the mechanisms and the general improvement of public health.
