Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Edentulism is well managed by either removable partial denture, fixed partial denture or by dental implants. The present study was conducted to determine the treatment outcome of implant supported overdenture in study population. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of Prosthodontics. It comprised of 68 patients who received implant supported overdenture in the past 5 years. Presence of sore spots on the mucosa, change in the stability and retention of the overdentures, number of dental implants and failure rates etc. was recorded. Results: Out of 68 patients, males were 48 and females were 20. The difference was significant (P- 0.01). Out of 68 implant supported overdenture patients, 12 patients had 2 implants in which stability was good (4), moderate (6) and poor (2), 20 patients had 3 implants in which stability was good (5), moderate (12) and poor (3), 36 patients had 4 implants in which stability was good (30), moderate (4) and poor (2). The difference was significant (P- 0.01). 12 patients had 2 implants in which retention was good (3), moderate (5) and poor (4), 20 patients had 3 implants in which retention was good (6), moderate (7) and poor (7) and 36 patients had 4 implants in which retention was good (28), moderate (5) and poor (3). The difference was significant (P- 0.02). Common failures was fracture of base material seen in 5 males and 6 females, loosening of attachment in 7 males and 2 females, peri- implantitis in 12 males and 4 females and sore spots in 4 males and 3 females. The difference was significant (P- 0.01). Conclusion: Implant supported overdentures have been considered the best treatment modality in patients with resorbed ridges in which complete denture cannot be given. Patient education should be provided regarding care of denture
