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. Also of significance are the expectations and demands of the patient from the prosthesis. The following case report discusses the rehabilitation of a complete edentulous mandibular arch with an implant retained mandibular over denture.
Clinical Significance
Implant retained fixed or removable prostheses are good treatment options in patients who have a compromised edentulous foundation.
