Research progress on the effects of implant-supported overdentures on residual ridge remodelling in edentulous jaws: a narrative review [PDF]
Residual ridge resorption (RRR) following tooth loss is a continuous and irreversible process that limits the effectiveness of conventional complete dentures and compromises masticatory function and quality of life.
