Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the nutritional status, nutritional risk, and dietary habits of patients treated with bimaxillary implant-supported fixed prostheses in comparison with a group of natural dentate patients.

Methods: A study group ( = 25, 8 women, mean age = 70.6 ± 7.5 years) with bimaxillary implant-supported fixed prostheses and a control group ( = 25, 13 women, mean age = 69.0 ± 5.3) with a mean of 27.7 ± 1.8 natural teeth were recruited. The nutritional status and nutritional risk of the participants were evaluated with Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and Seniors in the Community: Risk Evaluation for Eating and Nutrition; (SCREEN-14), while the dietary habits were recorded by data from a three-day dietary record. The data were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U-test and independent -test to evaluate the differences between the groups.

Results: The results showed that although both the groups had normal nutrition status as revealed by the MNA scores the study group showed significantly higher BMI ( = 0.005) but lower SCREEN-14 ( = 0.012) scores, than the control group. The results also showed that higher SCREEN-14 scores were significantly associated with higher odds of being in the control group, with an odds ratio of 1.159 ( = 0.024). Further, the results of the analysis of the dietary records showed that the participants in the study group consumed fewer meals ( = 0.006) and fewer varieties of food ( < 0.001), particularly fewer fruits ( = 0.011) than the control group.

Conclusion: The results indicate that people with fixed implant prostheses may be susceptible to nutritional deficiencies according to the SCREEN-14 scores compared to their natural dentate counterparts. Further, people with implant prostheses also tend to have higher BMI and consume a smaller variety of foods, especially fruits, than the natural dentate control group.
