Are Root‐Supported Overdentures Still an Alternative to Implant‐Supported Overdentures? A Scoping Review

Journal of Prosthodontics, 2022
AbstractPurposeTo compare the outcomes of prosthodontic treatment for subjects wearing a complete maxillary denture opposing a root‐supported mandibular overdenture (RSO) or an implant‐supported mandibular overdenture (ISO).MethodsA literature search was performed in seven electronic databases: MEDLINE via PubMed interface, Embase, Cochrane Library ...

Implant-supported overdentures.

Journal of the New Jersey Dental Association, 2014
Retention of the lower complete denture is always a question for the dentist and the patient because of the alveolar ridge resorption and many muscle attachments to the mandible. The treatment of edentulous patients using oral implants does not always permit the placement of an adequate number of implants for fixed prosthesis construction; the reasons ...

Mandibular implant‐supported overdentures and oral function

Clinical Oral Implants Research, 2010
AbstractObjectives: Oral rehabilitation by means of implant‐retained mandibular overdentures is known to improve oral function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long‐term effects of mandibular implant treatment on oral function. We quantified maximum bite force and masticatory performance 10 years after implant treatment.

An analysis of the implant‐supported overdenture in the edentulous mandible

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2012
SummaryThis investigation examined the cumu‐lative survival rate of the implant‐supported overdenture using two types of attachments in patients treated at Show Chwan Memorial Hospital Implant Center from 1992 to 2006. Fifty‐one patients (30 men and 21 women) were treated with mandibular implant‐supported overdentures.

Anterior implant-supported overdentures.

Quintessence international (Berlin, Germany : 1985), 1997
Retention of complete mandibular dentures can be successfully achieved by means of an implant-retained or natural tooth-retained bar and clip system in the anterior segment of the mandible. The same design principles hold true for both methods of anchoring the retentive bar. These retentive elements must be constructed to allow some freedom of movement

A fractal evaluation study of implant-supported overdentures

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology
The aim of this study is to evaluate the bone changes in the mandible of fully edentulous patients using two implant-supported overdentures after treatment, through fractal analysis (FA).A total of 27 patients who were treated with two implant-supported overdentures after using conventional complete dentures were included in our study.

Metal reinforcement for implant-supported mandibular overdentures

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2000
Complete and implant-supported mandibular overdenture bases can be a problem because they are especially prone to fracture. Metal reinforcement of the denture base can substantially reduce the incidence of fracture. This article describes 2 methods of reinforcing mandibular overdentures.

Complications in implant-supported overdentures.

Compendium of continuing education in dentistry (Jamesburg, N.J. : 1995), 1998
Implant-supported overdentures have been advocated as an effective treatment option for edentulism. When compared with implant-retained fixed prostheses, clinicians may find them to be technically easier to provide. However, there are complications unique to overdentures that can be encountered before, during, and after the restoration phases. Managing

The ERA implant-supported overdenture.

Compendium of continuing education in dentistry (Jamesburg, N.J. : 1995), 1996
Extracoronal Resilient Attachment (ERA) implant-supported overdentures, Class I, Division 1 or Division 3 prostheses, provide an exceptionally stable and retentive prosthetic design for edentulous patients with osseointegrated implants. The ERA System uses either an individual female implant abutment or plastic female patterns that can be incorporated ...

Implant-supported overdenture prostheses.

Practical periodontics and aesthetic dentistry : PPAD, 1992
Worldwide acceptance of dental implants has led to refinement of clinical concepts that allow increased prosthetic longevity and availability to larger segments of the general public. Overdenture prostheses are an integral part of this current trend, and the principles of their application should be understood by all clinicians.
