For completely edentulous mandible, the rehabilitation modality of an implant retained overdenture on two implants placed in anterior mandible is a simple, acceptable and predictable treatment option. It contributes significantly to patients psycho logical and social wellbeing. Increased retention results in greater patient satisfaction than conventional removable complete denture. This case report describes the use of two single piece implants with ball attachments to retain an implant retained mandibular overdenture in order to rehabilitate a completely edentulous male patient. It also illustrates the approach of prosthetically driven implant placement.

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 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.
Single implant overdenture – a more sustainable treatment option for resorbed mandible
International journal of health sciences
Rehabilitation of edentulous patient is done by dentist with the fabrication of complete denture. It is commonly observed that mandibular dentures are not satisfactory when compared to maxillary denture due to centrifugal resorption of mandible. Thus rehabilitation of atrophied edentulous mandible by using implant to support and retain the prosthesis is an acceptable treatment option. It adds to the denture stability, increase masticatory efficiency and comfort of the patient. The present case report discuss about a patient with prosthodontics rehabilitation consisting of single implant supported overdenture.
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...
A treatment approach of mandibular implant retained overdenture: A case report
IP innovative publication pvt. ltd, 2019
Edentulism has been a big issue whether it is in old age or in young individuals. The geriatric patients often encounter problems because of the absorbed mandibular ridges. The most common problem faced is the lack of stability and retention of the mandibular denture which ultimately affect the chewing and masticatory efficacy of the patients. Since ages the conventional complete denture is used as a treatment modality for edentulous patients but in last 20 years the implant supported overdenture has emerged as new option for edentulous patients. The use of implant supported overdenture had increased over a time because of good clinical results. The clinical edge of implant supported overdenture over conventional denture is that it can be given in resorbed ridges. The prosthesis shows less movement, better esthetics, improved function and maintenance of vertical dimension of occlusion over time. The higher success is associated with the implant supported overdenture because it meets the patients' expectations, improve quality of life with long term serviceability and positive outcomes.
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.
Evidences of Applicability of Implant Supported Overdentures during Present Decade; A Review
Myanmar Dental Journal, 2017
Implant overdenture was believed to be introduced since 40 years ago and showed various clinical success rate for a long time. In 2002 and 2009, there was an alternative treatment option approved for the rehabilitation of edentulous mandible rather than complete denture. Then implant overdentures showed a lot of high success rate in almost all aspects by various reliable reports over time gradually. This review aimed to collect and evaluate the updated evidences which developed increasingly in present decade and to be a brief clinical introduction for treatment options of edentulous patients.
