Abstract

Complete-denture wearers frequently report problems with oral function, typically caused by retention and stability problems of the mandibular prosthesis. Oral function significantly improves after mandibular implant overdenture treatment. This article will present the clinical and social advantages of an implant supported overdenture that allows more patients to benefit from implant-based care.
