Implant-Supported Overdenture: A Review
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Complete edentulism affects adversely the overall health-related quality of life. There are many prosthetic options to rehabilitate such cases like conventional complete dentures, implant-supported overdentures and implant-supported fixed prosthesis. Choice of implant-supported overdentures for the rehabilitation of completely edentulous maxilla and mandible has many advantages over other prosthetic options in respect of reduced cost, increased retention and esthetics, maintenance ease, reduced anterior ridge resorption, limited lateral movements and hence reduced soft tissue trauma. Greater stability of overdenture is due to mechanical attachments of the implant support system retaining the restoration. Various attachment systems are currently available to restore implant-supported overdenture and are used according to the clinical case scenario.
