Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 2

Abstract

In completely edentulous patients it is comparatively easy to get retention in maxillary denture due to large surface area than mandibular denture.So conventional complete dentures usually fail to satisfy the expectation of patients because of compromised retention, especiallywith mandibulardentures. This createsnegative effects on thepatient’sbehavior towards prosthodontics treatment. So a rehabilitation modality using mandibular overdenture is a simple, predictable and acceptable treatment option in such situations. Flapless surgeryincrease patients comfort and acceptance, and also it minimize the loss of soft tissue. The case report presents the use of two immediately loaded single piece bicortical implants with ball abutments to retain a mandibular overdenture in a completely edentulous patient using flapless technique.
