The totally edentulous patient has several options for implant treatment including fixed and removable solutions. The mastication, phonation and esthetics: The trident factors are very important and should be given due consideration when any dental procedure is initiated to achieve the successful outcome of treatment. The choice of a suitable prosthesis for a specific case is determined to a great extent by the underlying residual bone as well as the mucosa. Recent scientific studies carried out over the past decade have determined that the benefits of a mandibular two implant over denture are sufficient to propose the two implant over denture - rather than conventional denture - as the first treatment option. This in the prosthodontics literature has led to shift in therapeutic philosophy regarding restoration of the edentulous patient. This article presents rehabilitation of a complete edentulous mandibular arch with an implant retained mandibular over denture and hybrid denture - two case reports. |
