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...

In completely edentulous patients it is comparatively easy to get retention in maxillary denture due to large surface area than mandibular denture.So conventional complete dentures usually fail to satisfy the expectation of patients because of compromised retention, especiallywith mandibulardentures. This createsnegative effects on thepatient’sbehavior towards prosthodontics treatment. So a reh...

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 ...

This 3D finite element study assessed the stress distribution in mandibular overdenture supported by the 3i Locator system attached to two cylindrical or conical implants placed at the canine region. A 100 N vertical load was applied over the right first molar of the two overdenture models. The von Mises stresses were concentrated at the cervical and middle implant thirds. Cylindrical implants ...

introduction: the purpose of this case report is to analyze the results of vestibuleplasty around an over-denture based on dental implants to determine the evidence on the effectiveness of laser-assisted surgery and soft tissue management in implant dentistry. case report: the patient in this case report was a 57 year- old male who was completely edentulous, with a mandibular over denture based...

Objectives: The present study evaluated the effect of bar and ball attachment designs on retention and stability of a mandibular overdenture supported by four implants. Methods: An edentulous mandibular acrylic resin model with four implants in the anterior part of the ridge (A, B, D and E) was fabricated. A metal framework simulating the overdenture was also fabricated. Totally, 30...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Post retention is crucial factor in restoration survival. Posts are commonly failed due to loss of retention. It is unknown which luting agents would provide the maximum bond strength for Locator overdenture posts. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond retentive strengths of Locator overdenture posts cemented with 7 luting agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the stress distribution in Locator attachments in mandibular two-implant overdentures according to implant locations and different loading conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four three-dimensional finite element models were created, simulating two osseointegrated implants in the mandible to support two Locator attachments and an overdent...
