Implant-supported overdentures: part 1

British Dental Journal, 2021
The ability to provide high-quality complete dentures is a key skill for the GDP. The increasing prevalence and utilisation of implant-supported overdentures has opened the possibility of a wide variety of treatment options to support patient care, while also creating the need for primary care practitioners to have a greater awareness of commonly used ...

Masticatory Function with Implant-supported Overdentures

Journal of Dental Research, 2004
The type of attachment that is used in implant-supported mandibular overdentures may influence the retention and stability of the prosthesis and, thus, masticatory function. In this within-subject cross-over clinical trial, we examined the hypothesis that greater retention and stability of the overdenture improve the masticatory function.

The Implant-Supported Milled-Bar Mandibular Overdenture

Journal of Prosthodontics, 2001
Osseointegrated dental implants have been proven successful in the treatment of edentulism. The predictability of the implant‐supported prosthesis has also been established. Several techniques have been described for the successful restoration of the edentulous mandible: fixed‐detachable prostheses with either the original Brånemark hybrid prosthesis ...

Implant supported overdentures — the Birmingham experience

Journal of Dentistry, 1997
The use of an implant retained overdenture with magnets offers a simple treatment approach to the problem of instability of the complete denture. Advantages with magnets include a simplified clinical technique and reduced lateral stresses on the abutments.

Implant supported overdentures — the Leuven experience

Journal of Dentistry, 1997
This report covers a series of three different clinical longitudinal studies on the outcome of overdenture therapy when two (mandible) or four (maxilla) implants retaining a resilient overdenture are used.The resilient mandibular bar-retained overdenture on two implants is a very reliable treatment.

Slant‐Lock Implant‐Supported Overdenture

Journal of Prosthodontics, 1993
Slant‐Lock overdentures, Class I: Division 3 prostheses, provide a stable and retentive prosthetic design for edentulous patients with osseointegrated implants. In patients who have moderate to severe atrophy of the edentulous ridge, the Slant‐Lock overdenture provides additional support for the para‐oral structures. The prostheses increase the ease of

Classification System for Implant-Supported Overdentures

Implant Dentistry, 1999
A classification system for implant-supported overdentures is proposed in this article. Various types of implant-supported overdentures have been described in the literature, but there is considerable difference in the function of these designs. For example, an overdenture supported by freestanding implants does not have the retentive elements provided

Implant supported overdentures — the King's experience

Journal of Dentistry, 1997
Astra Tech implants have been used to provide implant supported overdentures for 25 people, 13 with paired stud retention, 10 with paired magnetic retention and two with magnetic retention on three fixtures.The first case was completed in June 1990 and the last in May 1992.

Implant supported overdentures — the Copenhagen experience

Journal of Dentistry, 1997
To evaluate the functional and biological effect of implant-supported overdenture treatment in the lower jaw.Thirty-two patients were consecutively treated with Astra Tech implants in the lower jaw for retaining overdentures. All implants had a diameter of 3.5 mm and all but two of the implants were longer than 10 mm.
