Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Preventive Prosthodontics emphasizes the importance of any procedure that can delay or eliminate the future Prosthodontic problems. The overdenture is a logical method for the Dentist to use in preventive Prosthodontics. This article presents a case report of fabrication of overdenture using access post system and implant. The advantage of the overdenture post system lies in its patented, thick walled hollow tube design, stabilizing flanges, and undercuts of the shank which offers strength, retention due to nylon caps, and stability for the prosthesis. The mandible is well suitable for implants particularly in the inter canine region because of the superior bone quality. It gives better retention and stability to mandibular denture
