The follow-up rate in this study was 67%. The masticatory performance was improved (P<0.001), whereas gingival inflammation was decreased (P < 0.001) over the 2-year period. A significant increase in the MMSE score (P <0.001) and a decrease in MCI risk (P<0.001) were noted. The decrease in MCI risk was correlated with the increase in both masticatory performance (P<0.05) and MMSE score (P<0.01).
