Implant Overdentures

Martin Schimmel

This is a recording of Martin Schimmel's Webinar on ITI Academy live. It is well documented that the stabilization of mandibular dentures with dental implants improves the patient’s oral health related quality of life and chewing function and reduces peri-implant bone and masseter muscle atrophy. However, selection of appropriate implants and overdenture attachments is often a challenge. The choice should be based on patient age and function as well as factors like stability, available space, cost and expected maintenance. In an approach that considers the general functional capacity and possible functional decline of the elderly edentulous patient, a staged approach for the choice of overdenture attachments is discussed.

At the end of this Congress Lecture you should be able to…

  • discuss diagnostics for functional implant-overdentures
  • explain of suitable implants for implant-overdentures
  • discuss the choice of attachment
