Case report demonstrates improved oral health in edentulous patients using implant-supported overdentures, suggesting a valuable treatment approach.
Implant-supported overdentures are widely used in the rehabilitation of completely edentulous patients due to their superior retention, stability, and functional efficiency compared with conventional complete dentures. These prostheses are retained by dental implants placed within the jawbone and can be connected using various attachment systems such as ball, bar, locator, or magnetic attachments. Implant-supported overdentures improve mastication, speech, comfort, esthetics, and patient confidence while also reducing residual ridge resorption. The mandibular overdenture supported by two implants is considered a predictable and cost-effective treatment option with high long-term success rates. Careful diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical placement, and regular maintenance are essential for successful outcomes. Overall, implant-supported overdentures significantly enhance the oral health-related quality of life of edentulous patients and have become an important treatment modality in modern prosthodontics.
