Implant Retained Overdenture: Two-way Approach (Case Study)
2016
Continued bone loss in edentulous patients causes a great challenge in prosthetic rehabilitation by conventional denture. Retention has been the most problematic area for mandibular complete denture especially when compared to maxillary complete denture, but retention and stability are greatly compromised in conventional dentures, especially if mandibular ridge is severely resorbed. Osseointegrated dental implants have been proven as a successful treatment modality while prescribing prosthodontic services to an edentulous patient. The predictability of the implant supported prosthesis has been established, and several techniques are present for successful restoration depending on the number of implants, bone quality, bone quantity, prosthesis movement, economical constraints, patients desires, etc. However, in cases of advanced ridge restoration in which facial tissue support is needed from the flanges of the prosthesis or when a removable type of prosthesis is preferred by the pati...

The main goal of modern removable prosthodontics is to restore the normal appearance, function, esthetics and speech in each completely edentulous patient. However, if all teeth are missing in a patient, it becomes very complicated to achieve it using traditional protocols. Therefore, implants were introduced into removable prosthodontics to ensure better retention and stability of the conventional dentures. In case of a large amount of bone missing in the jaw it is necessary to ensure the functioning of the dentures constructing various additional stabilizing and retentive prosthodontic solutions on the osseointegrated implants. Numerous types of attachment systems have been used recently for relating implant-retained overdentures to underlying implants: basically splinting (various bar shape designs) and non-splinting attachments (various ball type attachment, magnet attachment, telescopic coping systems). Indications for their use depend on the surgical and prosthodontic factors ...
Treatment outcomes with implant-supported overdentures: Clinical considerations
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1998
Adapt ation to wearing complete dentures is a complex process and must be considered from both somatic and psychologic standpoints. Incorporating a foreign body in the oral cavity may be a difficult task. Documentation on success and failure with complete dentures is sparse and not reliable, because the correlation between a favorable shape of the residual ridge, the technical accuracy of the dentures, and the ease of adaptation to wearing dentures is low. 1,2 Motor skills tend to decrease with increasing age. The difficulties of wearing dentures has been attributed to deficiencies of the denture-bearing tissues, reduced salivary flow, vulnerable tissue, and severe ridge resorption. Patients may also have an aversion against a foreign body in the oral cavity. For many patients, the wearing of complete dentures also means to be old and socially handicapped. Problems with adaptation to complete dentures are observed with a higher incidence for mandibular dentures than for maxillary dentures. Historically, surgeons focused on improving the structure of the residual mandibular ridge by various preprosthetic surgical techniques and less frequently the maxillary ridge. These techniques appear to be more invasive than the surgery for osseointegrated implants, and there is no scientific evidence of its success and usefulness. The use of implants to substitute for missing teeth was systematically developed by Brånemark et al. 3,4 Since the 1980s, several studies have demonstrated the reliability of this treatment modality. 5-7 The clinical concept of this treatment consisted of inserting five to six implants into the edentulous mandible to provide support and retention for a fixed prostheses, which was retrievable by the dentist only. While the Brånemark groups focused on fixed prostheses, Schroeder et al 8-10 developed the ITI implant system to deal with the problems of unilateral distal extension situations. He suggested that overdentures supported by four implants should be used in situations of

Prosthetic rehabilitation of totally edentulous patients today is a common procedure that clinicians approach in their daily practice. The use of dental implants for replacing missing teeth proved to be a safe technique and the implant-prosthetic materials available give the possibility of having long-term clinical success 1,2. Many studies have recommended the mandibular implant overdenture as a reliable treatment modality for edentulous patients and, in particular, those who have persistent problems using conventional
Implant Supported Overdenture: A Case Report
2018
The prosthetic management of the edentulous patient has been a major challenge. Complete maxillary and mandibular dentures have been the traditional standard of care. However, most of the patients report problems adapting to their mandibular denture due to a lack of comfort, retention, stability and inability to masticate.Implant supported overdentures have proved to be one of the best alternative options in prosthetic rehabilitation of various cases of edentulism. They satisfy patient’s expectations, improve quality of life with their long term serviceability and predictable outcomes.Implant supported overdentures offers many practical advantages over conventional complete dentures and removable partial dentures. These include decreased bone resorption, reduced prosthesis movement, better esthetics, improved tooth position, better occlusion, increased occlusal function and maintenance of the occlusal vertical dimension.This paper describesa case report in which a partially edentulo...
Implant supported overdenture- Drifting from the conventional approach
2023
Implant supported overdenture is the treatment modality that is proven to be a minimalist treatment option in present day for an edentulous patient Managing edentulous patients' prosthetics has always been a difficult task. Traditionally, the standard of treatment has been complete mandibular and maxillary dentures. However, because of discomfort, stability, retention, and difficulty in masticating, the majority of patients report difficulty adjusting to their mandibular denture. When considering the implant supported or implant retained prosthesis options several treatment plans can be formulated. The present article is a case report that discusses the fabrication and the advantages of an implant supported overdenture that takes support from both the implant and the soft tissue around it and thus has proven to be an effective solution to edentulism.

Fundamentals of Implant Overdenture-Overview
Iris Publishers LLC, 2021
Edentulism is a condition where there is loss of teeth, that changes the lifestyle of a human and results in various systemic changes. Preservation of remaining structures are important and implant overdentures are a boon not only in replacing the lost oral structures but also restores esthetics and functions. This aids in enhancing the nutritional intake and normalise the quality of life of the patient. After the loss of natural teeth restoring the oral structures with the support of implants is both an art and science, which will be described in this article.
Overdenture - implants versus teeth - quality of life and objective therapy evaluation
Prague medical report, 2009
An overdenture is a complete or removable partial denture that has one or more tooth roots or implants to provide a support. The study compares two types of prosthodontic treatment - overdenture supported by remained own teeth with ball attachments and that held by implants. The cohort of 35 patients (recall from 1 to 5 years) was evaluated. When subjectively and objectively assessed no significant difference between both groups was observed.
Implant Supported Overdenture: A Viable Treatment Option for Edentulous Patient
IOSR Journals , 2019
The prosthetic management of the edentulous patient has long been a major challenge. Complete maxillary and mandibular dentures have been the traditional standard of care. However, most of the patients report problems adapting to their mandibular denture due to a lack of comfort, retention, stability and inability to masticate. Implant-supported overdentures have been a common treatment for edentulous patients for the past 20 years and predictably achieve good clinical results. Implant supported overdentures offer many practical advantages over conventional complete dentures and removable partial dentures. These include decreased bone resorption, reduced prosthesis movement, better esthetics, improved tooth position, better occlusion, increased occlusal function and maintenance of the occlusal vertical dimension. This article presents a design and fabrication technique of the implant-retained overdenture that uses four freestanding mandibular and maxillary implants.
