Two Implants in a Severely Resorbed Mandible: A Case Report of Early Loading
نویسنده
چکیده
Bone resorption often prevents elderly patients from wearing complete mandibular over dentures. This has a negative impact on the quality of life of patients, since it affects their speech, chewing ability and social relationships. Implant-supported over dentures have been proven to be superior to conventional dentures, both in terms of retention and stability. We report the case of an 82 year-old woman with a severely resorbed mandible that was rehabilitated with a 2implant supported mandibular over denture. According to the reviewed literature, 2-implant over dentures is the preferred treatment for elderly patients with bone resorption due to its simplicity and reliability in the long-term.
