Abstract

|
|
|
Patients restored with the mandibular complete denture were often faced with complications of poor stability and retention of the prosthesis. Two implants overdenture is recognized as a standard treatment method for the edentulous mandible. In a 64-year-old man who represented severe mobility in all remaining teeth, the maxillary complete denture and the mandibular implant-retained overdenture were planned after extracting all the remaining teeth. Two implants were placed in mandibular both canine regions. To fabricate the denture, final impression was taken using a duplicate of the existing temporary denture. It is difficult to guide the mandible into the centric relation position in some denture patients. The Gothic arch tracer was used for accurate centric relation record. For conjunction with dental implants, locator attachments were used.
