Maxillary Single Implant Retained Overdenture: A Less Invasive and More Effective Alternate Treatment Option for Maxillary arch rehabilitation a Case Report

Abstract

Mandibular implant overdentures have proven and predictable advantages over standard mandibular dentures transmitted by mucosa and are now part of mainstream dentistry. A variety of different problems are posed by Maxillary implant overdentures. The present case reports a patient with prosthodontics rehabilitation consisting of maxillary implant supported overdenture. A 64-year-old male patient reported missing upper jaw teeth to be replaced. Clinical and radiographic examination showed an partially edentulous upper jaw with substantial bone loss and height and width deficit. It was intended to have a two stage implant placement for single retained implant over denture. Proposed positioning and location of the implant was considered and Implant Surgery was Done. Overdenture was fabricated and loading was done after 3 months along with cu-sil modification for retained maxillary molar.
