Abstract
|
|
|
Loss of tooth results in remodeling and resorption of surrounding alveolar bone which causes atrophic edentulous ridge
and gradually decreasing gingival attachment. As a result, edentulous patients face difficulty in using dentures due to pain,
decrease of support, decline of masticatory efficiency of complete denture. To improve this, overdenture with implant in
the mandible and attachment are considered as a treatment of choice as a favorable treatment. In this case, a patient with
edentulous ridge for long period is rehabilitated by complete denture in maxilla and implant overdenture using Locator®
attachment in mandible.
