Rehabilitating atrophied mandible with two-implant supported denture is a common treatment modality for implant retained removable overdenture in mandible. This paper aims to design a treatment modality where single implant reinforced overdenture is fabricated for a severely atrophied mandibular ridge with early loading protocol. Results of studies have shown that a single implant mandibular ov...

PURPOSE This bibliographical review aims to determine the present situation of the implant-supported milled bar overdenture as a therapeutic option in implantology, as well as to set and compare the techniques and materials currently used for making them. MATERIALS AND METHODS By searching the main electronic bibliographical data in indexed Medline articles, we obtained a total number of 20 a...

Aim: To compare new design implant-supported removable partial dentures retained with anterior fixed prosthesis a conventional locater and bar attached implant overdenture prostheses by two or four implants via photoelastic stress analysis. Materials Methods: Seven edentulous mandibuler acryclic models prepared divided into main groups; to models, subgroup separation as stated; for locator atta...

BACKGROUND The relationship between brain and prosthesis was previously assessed either by improving denture function or in fixed implant retained, wherein brain function was assessed only after crown placement. PURPOSE To prospectively analyze the changes in brain activity and cognitive function of completely edentulous patients in edentulous state, with dentures and two-implant supported ma...

An implant fracture may be one of the major causes of late implant failures. Complications, such as loosening or fracture of the prosthesis restorative components, or even fracture of the implant, may occur and dental professionals should be aware of the causes of these complications. This study reports a clinical situation involving a patient restored with a mandibular overdenture that present...

The lack of retention in complete dentures is a common complaint. The incorporation of the tooth supported overdenture in prosthodontics offers improvements related to patient satisfaction and masticatory capacity compared to the conventional complete denture. Retention of the roots of one or more teeth for overdenture offers the patient a lot of advantages like better stability, proprioception...

Introduction: The conventional treatment for completely edentulous patients is complete denture. But can have substantial difficulties using their dentures due to a lack of retention, support, and stability the related compromise in chewing ability. Endosseous implants been shown be valuable rehabilitation these patients. To enhance retention denture, various overdenture attachments systems use...

This case report presents a patient who had been rehabilitated with a telescopic overdenture and implant supported fixed partial denture (ISFPD). The treatment process was as follows: (1) fabricating telescopic crowns and overdenture prosthesis for the lower jaw and a temporary complete denture for the upper jaw, (2) using the temporary denture as diagnostic and surgical guide to optimize denta...

A 65-year-old male patient with a status of right maxillectomy with preoperative chemoradiotherapy is presented, in whom the defect was reconstructed with rectus abdominis flap. Following loss of abutment teeth due to poor periodontal condition, the previous maxillary overdenture retained O-ring attachments (OP anchor attachment) unfortunately failed. Dental adhesive was unable to provide satis...

PURPOSE This photoelastic study compared the load transfer characteristics of 2 retention mechanisms in an implant-assisted overdenture prosthesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four implants were incorporated into a photoelastic model of a moderately resorbed edentulous human maxilla. Two retention mechanisms were studied by changing components on the same model and the palateless overdenture. The r...
