Implant Supported Mandibular Overdenture in Pre-existing Complete Denture Wearer- Acceptance, Function and Stability.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: This prospective study was done to assess the overall acceptance, improvement in masticatory performance and stability of implant supported overdenture among the patient who were complete denture wearer and had impaired function and stability of mandibular complete denture.Material & Method: Eight complete denture wearer patients who had compromised function and stability of mandibular denture were included in the study. One-piece titanium implants were placed at canine-premolar regions of mandible, one implant on each side. Ball part of the implant was kept above the crest. Lower denture was modified and immediate loading was done after 48 hours.Acceptance, improvement in masticatory efficiency and stability of mandibular complete denture were recorded on 100 mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) on 2nd day, 7th day, after 6 weeks and after 3 months.Result and Observation: Present study showed a better acceptance by the patients as 95 score was recorded on VAS scale and mean change from baseline was 60.00 ± 10.00, t’ value was 16.97and ‘p’ value was found <0.001after 3 months. In masticatory function mean change from baseline was 51.63 ± 8.62, t’ value recorded 16.94 and ‘p’ value was found <0.001. Similarly, improvement in stability was also found significant. Few minor post-surgical complications were encountered; however; no major complication noted.Conclusion: In conclusion, Implant supported mandibular overdenture not only improves the stability & function but also increases the overall acceptance of this newly evolved prosthesis in compare to conventional complete denture. It can be a considered as a better alternative to the conventional removable complete denture.
