Single-implant retained mandibular overdenture as a result of atypical anatomy – case report
Journal Title: Prosthodontics - Year 2015, Vol 65, Issue 1
Abstract
Treatment of edentulous patients often poses a lot of difficulties, especially due to the extensive loss of the prosthetic base in the mandible. The use of overdenture supported by implants can solve this problem. For many years the use of two or four implants to support the prosthesis has been regarded as a standard in such cases. However, there are situations when such a solution is difficult or even impossible to apply for example due to the anatomical conditions. Therefore, the use of a single implant placed in the midline of mandible should be considered as an element able to improve the stabilization and retention of a lower complete denture.
