Implant for Removable Denture
Removable denture is one of the treatment options for patient who losses their teeth and related supporting structures. Its functional has generally been seriously limited especially in the case of severe alveolar bone loss. The use of implant in conjunction with removable denture can address many of such limitations e.g. lack of stability, inadequate retention, and missing of abutments in strategic locations consequently, patient masticatory function is improved. Also with this mode of treatment, patients can easily clean their dentures and adequate oral hygiene is ensured. In addition implant can decrease bone resorption rate therefore, denture functionality is maintained for longer period of time comparing to non-implant-supported counterpart. The flexible joint (e.g. resilient attachment-ball and locator) is usually used between an implant and denture. This flexible joint compensates for differences in movability of gingival tissue, natural tooth, and implant itself. This article presents the use of implant in complete and partial denture. The case considerations and treatment planning of these two types of dentures are rather similar in some points and vastly different in others, which present unique and fascinating learning experience.
