Edentulous patients have demonstrated impaired masticatory ability with conventional dentures. The masticatory deficiency is due, in part, to the instability of the mandibular denture and the lack of proprioception of conventional dentures. The Interpore IMZ implant offers an intramobile element in the design that may enhance proprioception of screw-retained dentures. The following case reports evaluated the stability and patient response of 10 edentulous patients who received a screw-retained denture with the intramobile element. The results indicated that the IMZ system can be successfully incorporated in this design.
无牙颌患者佩戴传统义齿时已表现出咀嚼能力受损。咀嚼功能不足部分归因于下颌义齿的不稳定性以及传统义齿缺乏本体感觉。Interpore IMZ种植体在设计中提供了一个可移动元件，这可能会增强螺丝固位义齿的本体感觉。以下病例报告评估了10名接受带有可移动元件的螺丝固位义齿的无牙颌患者的稳定性和患者反应。结果表明，IMZ系统可以成功地应用于这种设计中。
