Design and Manufacturing of Titanium Attachment for Single Implant Retained Mandibular Overdenture: A Review

People loss their teeth due to numerous reason. These people have to go for dental treatment and get artificial teeth. But denture treatment is very costly for an average human with limited income. The main factor contributing to the cost of the denture is number of implants used for the treatment .A single implant cost around Rs. 25000 and generally for better stability dentist use two or more than two implants for overdenture treatment and cost may increase .So the study is done with a specific focus on design, analysis and manufacturing of titanium attachment used for single implant in mandibular overdenture by giving different treaded implant to increase the retention and reduces the stresses for better retention. Materials and Methods: A search with the keywords like Denture, Implant, Overdenture, Single implant overdenture, single implant vs. two implant,Mandibular, Attachment carried out on Science Direct (Elsevier), Saudi dental journal, Journal of dental research and Google Scholar. Open access article were search.The referred articles informer studies were also taken or requested. Results: The search resulted intotal of30 articles .Among the 21, 9 article were on mandibular overdenture , 5 article were related to various types of attachment ,7 article were on single implant mandibular overdenture and so on. Conclusions: The review paper concludes that single implant mandibular overdenturecan be cost effective for patients because of less implant used and surgical intervention. By reducing maximum stresses it give proper retention in single implant mandibular overdenture and give proper benefits while eating and speaking.
