Abstract
|
|
|
Patients wearing the mandibular complete denture often faced with complications of reduced stability and retention of the
denture. It is difficult to obtain patient comfort through conventional complete denture treatment. Two implants overdentures
are reported as a standard treatment choice for the mandibular edentulous patient. In a 68-year-old woman 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, Lcator® attachments were used.
