| Abstract |
|
The rehabilitation of the fully edentulous patients; especially in mandible; could be compromised
due to their diversity in terms of clinical; medical; anatomical and economic situations. An
implant-retained complete overdenture is recommended as the gold standard in the oral
rehabilitation of the edentulous mandible due to its relative simplicity; minimal invasiveness;
predictability; efficacy and affordability. In this report; two fully edentulous patients under
anticiagulatory therapy who were treated with a conventional complete denture on the maxilla
and implant retained overdenture supported by freestanding implants placed in the anterior region
of the mandible. Locator and magnetic attachments were used for retention of the mandibular
overdenture respectively. Patients were satisfied with the final results in esthetic and functional
aspects. |
