Implant Support for Removable Partial Overdentures

Evaluation of the Influence of Location of Osseointegrated Implants Associated with Mandibular Removable Partial Dentures

“…With the placement of implants in the distal extension, there was a reduction in the tendency to displacement in the alveolar edge region and in the DERPD, simulating an increase in its stability, which can be supported by clinical approaches such as the studies of Ganz, 3 Battistuzzi et al, 4 Keltjens et al, 2 Giffin, 6 Halterman et al, 8 Carvalho et al, 27 McAndrew, 28 Mitrani et al, 10 and Kuzmanovic et al, 11 and are in agreement with the studies of de Rocha et al, 12 Pellizzer et al, 13 and Verri et al 14 Thus, the presence of the implant diminished DERPD intrusion; i.e., it minimized the movement of the prosthetic seat in the vertical direction.…”

“…Giffin 6 tried to resolve the dilemma of distal extension denture base movement by placing an IMZ implant (Friatec, Mannhein, Germany) in the mandibular alveolar edge in the posterior region, connected to the RPD by a resilient ERA type attachment (Sterngold Dental, Attleboro, USA). Jang 7 8 with the intention off preventing or minimizing the appearance of signs that constituted the Combination Syndrome described by Kelly,9 used the association between DERPDs and osseointegrated implants located in the mandibular distal extensions to work as vertical abutments. Mitrani et al 10 retrospectively assessed 10 patients (uni-or bilaterally edentulous) treated by placing implants as distally as possible in the distal extensions, associated with RPDs.…”

Implants in Conjunction With Removable Partial Dentures: A Literature Review

“…13 Keltjens et al 24 in 1993 and Halterman et al 25 in 1999 described a number of clinical cases where 2 implants were used to assist in the support of a mandibular bilateral distal extension removable partial denture opposed by a maxillary complete denture. 13 Keltjens et al 24 in 1993 and Halterman et al 25 in 1999 described a number of clinical cases where 2 implants were used to assist in the support of a mandibular bilateral distal extension removable partial denture opposed by a maxillary complete denture.…”

Comparison of immediate‐load mini dental implants and conventional‐size dental implants to retain mandibular Kennedy class I removable partial dentures: A randomized clinical trial

“…5 The resiliency of soft tissue can cause the rotational movement of the dentures. [7][8][9][10] The combination of dental implants and RPDs has been used for many years. Many published studies recommend using dental implants to overcome these problems.…”
