Single implant overdenture reinforced with a metallic framework: A 2‐year clinical follow‐up

Abstract: Introduction: To prevent single-implant overdenture (SIO) fracture, the inclusion of a framework in the overdenture has been suggested. However, no investigations verified their benefits.Objective: To evaluate prosthetic maintenance events, patient satisfaction, and mastication of SIO reinforced by metallic framework users.Material and methods: Fifteen volunteers had a new set of complete dentures converted into an SIO containing a framework. Maintenance events were recorded, while patient satisfaction was ass… Show more

“…Additionally, as for comparing Unmixed Fraction in between the two observation times T0 &T3for the two studied groups (Metal & PEEK), the results exhibited significantly lower UF at T3 than T0. That assured an enhancement in Masticatory Efficiency at three months after insertion than that recorded at time of insertion (21) . The authors elaborated that masticatory performance of SIMO reinforced with a metallic framework showed great enhancement at time of insertion and remained steady for about one year following the insertion.…”

“…[14][15][16] The high concentration of compressive stresses in the vicinity of the attachment housing may lead to SIMO fractures. [17][18][19][20][21][22] Furthermore, the single mandibular implant becomes a fulcrum for the overdenture during its functional movement, resulting in denture base deformation and subsequent fracture. [23][24][25] The incidence of SIMO fractures has been reported in a number of clinical studies, as denture base fracture has been found within the first year of SIMO use.…”

“…A cast metal framework incorporated into the acrylic resin was shown to be efficient in minimizing denture base strains. 14,16,22 Moreover, the metal reinforcement distributes stresses more widely across the edentulous ridge, reducing functional deformation and supporting tissue problems. 15,24,25 On the other hand, metal frameworks require complicated construction steps and may cause hypersensitivity.…”

“…Such treatment is simple, cost-effective, and has a minimal invasiveness 5 which might be beneficial in elderly (geriatric) patients with compromised medical conditions who had discomfort with their conventional denture 6 . This treatment gained popularity in the last two decades [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] . A third line of treatment is the placement of 3 implant in the interforaminal region to create an angular rather than a straight-line configuration 13 .…”
