Advantages of Prosthetics for Edentulous Jaws Using Implant-Supported Bar Systems

Abstract. One of the pressing issues in modern dentistry is the restoration of functional and aesthetic parameters of the dentoalveolar system in cases of complete and partial tooth loss, especially when a significant number of teeth are missing, making it impossible to restore the dental arch with fixed structures or removable partial dentures. In these cases, removable prosthetics become necessary. The study results indicated that removable prostheses fixed on implants are more prognostically favorable for preserving periodontal tissues than conventional full removable plate dentures.
