Orthopedic Treatment Results of Fully Edentulous Patients by Overdenture Supported by Endoosseous Implants and Complete Dentures (Comparative Study)

When it comes to fully edentulous, the disadvantages of complete dentures are well known, especially in the lower jaw: poor fixation and rapid damage. In recent years, there are endoosseous implants used as reinforcing supports for complete dentures. Therefore, clinical status indicators of 106 complete dentures and 42 ones with improved fixation on endoosseous implants for a period of 7 years were compared to determine their quality and impact on stoma.

It is shown that overdenture with implants under fully edentulous superior to traditional complete dentures for durability and quality indicators. Dentures functional efficiency decline depends on denture base atrophy, false teeth abrasion, denture breakage. Mucositis and periimplantitis development leads to the removal of no more than 10.0% of implants at the end of seven years of observation.
