Implant Supported Mandible Over Denture with Four Implants Key Facts

Abstract

Implant retained over denture (IRO) is a satisfactory treatment modality for edentulous patient with problems with their lower denture. There are good reasons why this treatment should be selected in preferences to using tissue supported dentures. There are certain rules that provide a method to control the mechanical environment, addressing factors effecting implant and prosthesis longevity, including magnitude of forces, resistance of prosthesis against theses forces, and the biology of bone and its ability to respond to loading environments. Materials and methods: Ten edentulous patients were selected for implant retained prosthesis for the mandible, with minimum four implants in parasymphysis region and prosthesis were delivered after period of 3 months. Conclusion: Certain important points needs consideration for successful prosthesis and its longevity.
