Implant-supported overdentures.

Implant-supported overdentures.

Abstract

Retention of the lower complete denture is always a question for the dentist and the patient because of the alveolar ridge resorption and many muscle attachments to the mandible. The treatment of edentulous patients using oral implants does not always permit the placement of an adequate number of implants for fixed prosthesis construction; the reasons are insufficient anatomical bone height of the alveolar ridge, health restrictions and financial limitations. Placement of two dental implants in the cuspid regions anterior to the mental foramina on either side will improve the retention and stability of complete dentures in edentulous patients. Implant-supported overdentures with ball and socket attachments are more successful, provide good retention, stability for the denture and improve comfort and confidence for the edentulous patient while speaking and masticating.
