Rehabilitation of a Completely Edentulous Patient with a Mandibular Overdenture
نویسندگان
چکیده
For completely edentulous mandible, the rehabilitation modality of an implant retained overdenture on two implants placed in anterior mandible is a simple, acceptable and predictable treatment option. It contributes significantly to patients psycho logical and social wellbeing. Increased retention results in greater patient satisfaction than conventional removable complete denture. This case report describes the use of two single piece implants with ball attachments to retain an implant retained mandibular overdenture in order to rehabilitate a completely edentulous male patient. It also illustrates the approach of prosthetically driven implant placement.
