Smile with confidence: How implant-supported dentures enhance the quality of life

Loss of retention and progressive ridge resorption are frequently linked to traditional mandibular full dentures. Overdenture patients have reported great success with dental implants placed in the anterior jaw. It has been used to increase patient satisfaction as well as mandibular denture retention. Instead of using four implants and a bar to retain the overdenture, edentulous patients are sometimes treated with just two implants and ball attachments due to their excellent success rates and cheaper costs. This article describes a straightforward procedure that houses the retentive components directly into the impression surface of the denture utilizing a chairside method, turning a current conventional denture into an implant supported overdenture.

Abstract

Loss of retention and progressive ridge resorption are frequently linked to traditional mandibular full dentures. Overdenture patients have reported great success with dental implants placed in the anterior jaw. It has been used to increase patient satisfaction as well as mandibular denture retention. Instead of using four implants and a bar to retain the overdenture, edentulous patients are sometimes treated with just two implants and ball attachments due to their excellent success rates and cheaper costs. This article describes a straightforward procedure that houses the retentive components directly into the impression surface of the denture utilizing a chairside method, turning a current conventional denture into an implant supported overdenture.
