Masticatory ability improves after maxillary implant overdenture treatment: A randomized controlled trial with 1-year follow-up.

Mixing ability was the same for all the participants treated with maxillary implant overdentures on either solitary attachments or bars. Patient reported masticatory ability and satisfaction was better for participants treated with maxillary implant overdentures on bars. There was a correlation between MAI and patient reported masticatory ability in participants with full conventional dentures.
