- Authors
Chung, Ho-Young; Kurtzman, Gregori M.
- Abstract
This article explores the use of mandibular overdentures as a treatment option for patients with failing dentition. It discusses the benefits of overdentures, such as stability, cost-effectiveness, and easier oral hygiene maintenance. The article presents two case examples of patients who underwent immediate implant placement and loading with overdentures, demonstrating long-term bone stability. The patients expressed satisfaction with the retention of the overdentures and reported no issues with the prostheses. Overall, immediate implant placement and overdentures can be a successful treatment option for patients with failing dentition.
