Implant Overdenture - A Review To Highlight The Concept

Implant overdenture treatments cover one of the possible
treatment solutions to the patients have some teeth/ roots retained,
in patients completely edentulous or wearing conventional
overdentures. Presenting this treatment plan using osseointegrated
dental implants which will provide stability and retention for the
prosthesis, prevent further bone resorption, and improvement of
the aesthetic and functional requirement of the patients which is
consequently affecting patients psychology and improve quality of
life.
Clinical and research studies of this topic always explore that,
overdenture treatment is an alternative to conventional complete
denture in terms of retention and stability and an alternative to full
arch fix prosthesis in terms of finance. Although there is remains
a lack of consistency in techniques, prosthetics design, and
attachment systems, this aspect has been proven less important to
successful outcomes than we thought. In this review, we investigate
implant overdenture in terms of advantage, disadvantage, indication
and contraindication, attachment selection, and overdenture
maintenance.
