Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Resorbed Mandible With TwoImplants Supported Overdenture Using Ball Attachments: A Clinical Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: the aim of this study was to describe a technique of fabrication of two implants supported mandibular overdenture. Background: There are several treatment modalities for completely edentulous patients including conventional complete dentures, implants supported overdentures and implant supported fixed prosthesis. Patients with a severely resorbed mandible often experience problems with their conventional complete dentures. Treatment concepts involving implant supported overdentures have proven to be as satisfactory as implant supported fixed prosthesis with added advantage of ease in hygiene maintenance and less cost. Case description: This clinical report summarizes a simplified and accurate method of fabricating a two implant supported mandibular overdenture. In this case two implants were placed in the intercannine region of mandibular ridge and conventional complete denture was installed. Three months later this complete denture was converted into implant supported mandibular overdenture. Clinical significance: Conventional complete dentures have shown less satisfaction rates by patients over a period of time in terms of function. Moreover, there are researches showing increased rate of resorption with these dentures. Thus, if implant supported overdentures are used routinely into they can provide a better quality of life to edentulous patients.
