Implant-Supported Hybrid Prosthesis Opposing Maxillary Complete Denture: A Case Report

Complete edentulism adversely affects mastication, phonetics, facial esthetics, and overall quality of life, particularly in the mandibular arch where conventional dentures frequently lack adequate retention and stability due to progressive ridge resorption. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a completely edentulous mandible using an implant-supported hybrid prosthesis opposing a maxillary conventional complete denture. Clinical and radiographic evaluation was performed followed by implant placement in the interforaminal region. After successful osseointegration, a screw-retained hybrid prosthesis was fabricated and delivered. The definitive prosthesis demonstrated improved retention, stability, masticatory efficiency, esthetics, and patient satisfaction
