The present clinical study evaluated bone resorption and analyzed occlusions in patients who underwent an implant-supported fixed prosthesis operation in the posterior mandibular region. The study included 28 patients [15 men (53.6%) and 13 women (46.4%)] with a mean age of 54.0 ± 11.1 years (age range: 32–75 years) who underwent an implant-supported fixed prosthesis operation in the posterior mandibular region between 2016 and 2017. The amount of bone loss at 1 year after treatment and the occlusion analysis outcomes were evaluated. The anterior guidance, posterior dislocation, occlusal table, tubercle inclinations, and dental occlusion status were also determined. Based on the statistical analysis, distal bone loss was higher in female patients than in male patients; mesial bone loss was higher in cases with a wide occlusal table; mesial and distal bone loss was higher in cases with greater tubercular slope; and distal bone loss was more common in cases with surface-to-surface contact with temples. A wide occlusal table may be a risk factor for mesial bone loss in implant prosthetic restorations in the mandibular molar toothless region.
