Rehabilitation of an Edentulous Patient with Implant Supported Overdenture
Journal of Contemporary Dentistry, 2013
ABSTRACTThe conventional mandibular complete dentures are often associated with advanced ridge resorption and loss of retention. Dental implants in the anterior mandible were documented as being highly successful treatment option for overdenture. It has been use to improve the retention of mandibular dentures and also to improve patient's satisfaction. Because of high success rates, as well as lower costs, it is common to treat edentulous patients with just two implants and ball attachments for retention of the overdenture, instead of four implants and a bar. In this article a simple process of converting existing conventional denture into an implant supported overdenture by housing the retentive elements directly into the impression surface of the denture through a simple chairside technique is described.How to cite this articleMhatre S, Ram SM, Mahadevan J, Karthik M.

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.

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 ...
Implant Retained Overdenture: Two-way Approach (Case Study)

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 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...
Given the increasing life expectancy in the coming years, dental practitioners, as other specialists from different medical fields, will encounter an increasing number of complete edentulous patients. These patients, with a longer active life and higher standards of life quality, will have different expectations for their complete dentures, higher than the standard treatment that uses conventional complete dentures.
Implant overdenture A review to highlight the concept
HSOA Journal of Dentistry: Oral Health & Cosmesis, 2020
Implant overdenture treatments cover one of the possible treatment solutions to the patients have some teeth/ roots retained, in patients completely edentulous or wearing conventional overdentures. Presenting this treatment plan using osseointegrated dental implants which will provide stability and retention for the prosthesis, prevent further bone resorption, and improvement of the aesthetic and functional requirement of the patients which is consequently affecting patients psychology and improve quality of life. Clinical and research studies of this topic always explore that, overdenture treatment is an alternative to conventional complete denture in terms of retention and stability and an alternative to full arch fix prosthesis in terms of finance. Although there is remains a lack of consistency in techniques, prosthetics design, and attachment systems, this aspect has been proven less important to successful outcomes than we thought. In this review, we investigate implant overdenture in terms of advantage, disadvantage, indication and contraindication, attachment selection, and overdenture maintenance.

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
Rehabilitation with implant-supported overdentures in total edentulous patients: a review
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, 2013
Objectives: The main aim of this review article is to discuss implant-supported overdentures (ISOs) as treatment in edentulous patients. Besides, we will try to discuss among the different treatment options in such patients and to analyze their validity when ISOs are compared with other clinical modalities. At the same time, we will try to suggest clinical guidelines supported by current clinical studies. Material and methods: We performed a Medline search and review of pertinent articles on the mentioned subject from 1986 to 2011. As a searching strategy, we used the following words: implant-supported overdentures, attachment systems, Locator attachment, cantilever, fixed prosthesis. Results and conclusions: Implant-supported overdentures constitute an accurate and predictable treatment option and achieve a higher patients' satisfaction. This type of treatment constitutes a cheaper treatment than fixed prostheses and in some patients, with loss of lip support or with an interoclusal space larger than 15 mm, the choice of implant-supported overdentures seems to prevent future aesthetic or phonetic problems.
