Objective To analyze the clinical application effect of oral implant restoration in the treatment of dentition defect. Methods The study cases were patients with dentition defect. They were admitted from January 2024 to May 2025, totaling 50 cases. All cases were divided into two groups based on the random number table method, with 25 cases in each group. The control group received conventional denture restoration treatment, while the observation group received oral implant restoration treatment. The masticatory function, periodontal indicators, Oral Health Impact Scale (OHIP-14) scores and complications of the two groups of patients were evaluated and compared. Results Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in masticatory function, periodontal indicators, and OHIP-14 score between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, after treatment, the comparisons of these indicators between the two groups showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Among them, the masticatory efficiency and bite force of the observation group were higher and greater after treatment The plaque index, gingival index, sulcus bleeding index and OHIP-14 score were all lower. Conclusion In the treatment of patients with dentition defect, compared with conventional denture restoration treatment, oral implant restoration treatment has a more significant effect on the recovery of patients' masticatory function, can improve the health of periodontal tissues, enhance the level of oral health, and the clinical effect is more ideal.
