Prosthodontic Rehabilitation of Edentulous Patients with Implant-Retained Overdentures: A Clinical Report

摘要


Diminished ridge dimensions following tooth loss complicate prosthodontic rehabilitation, especially for edentate elderly patients who are usually not the right candidates for complex treatment procedures. Implant-retained or -supported overdentures can enhance the stability and retention of conventional complete dentures and rebuild the soft tissue profile and oral function through a relatively conservative procedure. The Locator system (Zest Anchors, Inc, homepage, Escondido, CA, USA) is widely applied around the world as the anchorage for overdentures. The aim of this clinical case report was to demonstrate the rehabilitation of an edentate patient with maxillary and mandibular implant-retained overdentures and to review the related literature.
