Mandibular implant-retained overdentures have become the standard of care for patients with mandibular complete edentulism. As part of the treatment, the mandibular implant-retained overdenture may require a metal mesh framework to be incorporated to strengthen the denture and avoid fracture of the prosthesis. Integrating the metal mesh framework as part of the acrylic record base and wax occlu...

A bibliographic review was carried out on the evidence published in the last 10 years, 2006-2017 on four alternative therapeutic options for a complete prosthesis in a mandibular toothless patient: overdenture on 1, 3 or 4 implants, and the All on protocol Four. For this purpose, one of the main biomedical sciences researchers was used, such as PubMed, through the library of the Faculty of Medi...

Implant rehabilitation of an edentulous mandible presents significant improvements over conventional complete denture therapy with regards to efficient function, esthetics and therefore improve the quality of life to patient's satisfaction. Choosing the right treatment plan to meet the patient's expectations is the prime objective considering his edentulous status and health. Several implant pr...

A long-term denture wearer exhibited advanced alveolar bone loss, resulting in an atrophic mandible. Symphyseal bone height was 10 mm. The inferior alveolar nerve and mental foramen were close to the crest of the mandible. The symphyseal region was available for endosteal implant placement. Patient was an 83-year-old white male who was medically compromised. Anticoagulant therapy was stopped an...

Satisfactory restoration in a patient with a partially edentulous situation can be challenging especially when unilateral or bilateral posterior segment of teeth is missing. Successful restoration can be done with various conventional and contemporary treatment options. One such treatment modality is attachment-retained cast partial dentures. A key to success for an attachment retained cast par...

One of the most confusing issues for dentists is choosing the appropriate attachment assembly for implant overdenture cases. They usually ask themselves many questions when it comes to selecting the right attachment assembly. First, which attachment should one use? Would a bar or stud attachments be best? Depending on the answers to those questions, more considerations follow. For instance, whi...

Rehabilitation of mutilated dentition is esthetic and functional challenge. The present condition dentition, patient’s level motivation for maintaining oral hygiene, social status etc are the key factors to successful rehabilitation. Maxillary teeth supported overdenture against mandibular complete denture a potential risk enhancing residual ridge resorption arch. In such situation implant pros...

BACKGROUND The hard and soft tissue deficiency is a limiting factor for the prosthetic restoration and any surgical attempt to correct the anatomic foundation needs to be precisely executed for optimal results. The purpose of this paper is to describe the clinical steps that are needed to confirm the treatment plan and allow its proper execution. METHODS Team work and basic principles are emp...
