A stable occlusal plane is achieved with the combination of two maxillary, implant-supported milled bars securing an overdenture and bilateral, mandibular-fixed partial dentures. Overdenture retention is enhanced with attachments. Guide planes assure proper alignment of the overdenture for easy patient insertion and improved prosthesis stability. A reliable technique for verifying the accuracy ...

Overdenture has been a proven mainstay of conservative prosthodontic treatment when proper diagnosis,treatment planning, and most importantly, patient compliance are achieved. Despite recent developments indental implantology, the conservative approach to root preservation followed by an overdenture is still valid. The many advantages of root retention includealveolar bone maintenance, better p...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of magnet retained overdenture treatment over tooth supported overdenture and degree to which subjective treatment outcome could be predicted by VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). 10 patients were identified and conventional over denture was delivered, they form group A1. In the same patients magnets were attached to the abutments and the same ove...

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...

Background: The consensus is that the standard treatment of choice for the edentulous mandible should be a two implant retained mandibular overdenture. Some clinicians have tried single median implant to retain the mandibular overdenture, however, there is lack of scientific information with single implant retained mandibular overdenture. Therefore the purpose of the current randomized clinical...

A 2-implant-retained mandibular overdenture is considered by some to be the standard of care for mandibular edentulism. Compared to a conventional complete denture, an implant-retained overdenture requires more thorough planning. Careful consideration is necessary regarding the 3-dimensional orientation of the implants to ensure adequate horizontal and vertical space for prosthetic components. ...

A 65-year-old male patient with a status of right maxillectomy with preoperative chemoradiotherapy is presented, in whom the defect was reconstructed with rectus abdominis flap. Following loss of abutment teeth due to poor periodontal condition, the previous maxillary overdenture retained O-ring attachments (OP anchor attachment) unfortunately failed. Dental adhesive was unable to provide satis...

PURPOSE This photoelastic study compared the load transfer characteristics of 2 retention mechanisms in an implant-assisted overdenture prosthesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four implants were incorporated into a photoelastic model of a moderately resorbed edentulous human maxilla. Two retention mechanisms were studied by changing components on the same model and the palateless overdenture. The r...

As a general rule, the purpose of treatment planning should be minimization and evenly distribution of mechanical stress in the adjacent implant and bone system. Various experimental studies have examined the distribution of stress in the implant supporting bones, thus avoiding the dangers involved. But there is still controversy about biomechanical effects and stress distribution in different ...

Abstract Overdenture is a type of treatment suitable for subtotal and complete edentulous patients characterized by making total prosthesis, with the mucosal face embedding remaining teeth (remaining roots) or dental implants. In this material we will try to present some practical aspects, regarding retained overdenture magnetic systems fixed in roots at level arches.
