Clinical feasibility of mandibular implant overdenture retainers submitted to immediate load

Abstract

All the patients in this study reported a considerable improvement in the masticatory function and prostheses stability following treatment. It is possible to propose that the use of mandibular implants overdenture should become the selected treatment for totally edentulous patients to facilitate oral function and quality of life.

Resonance frequency analysis of overdenture retainer implants with immediate loading

“…We should consider the necessity of evaluating, over the course of days and months, the relation of the prosthetic component, the response of the peri‐implant tissue, the absence of discomfort and pain and the level of retention of the implant capsule rubber braces. Improvements in the masticatory efficiency, stability and retention of the prosthesis, the absence of trauma in the residual ridge, gains in self‐esteem and improvements in the quality of life were the main benefits reported by the participants of this study 8 .…”

“…Initially, the patients answered a questionnaire to assess the level of satisfaction with their current total prostheses 8 . Then, the surgical procedures were performed.…”

Bone morphogenetic protein effect on implant stability and bone height in immediately loaded implant supported mandibular overdenture (randomized clinical trial)

“…[18] The decrease of a few points in the ISQ may not be considered a problem in the prognosis of the implants with high initial stability values at the time of surgery. This decrease in ISQ values may consider that there are problems for implants with average ISQ values as the manipulation in the production of the prosthesis, as well as mastication and food may cause micro movements on the implant, with the resultant formation of fi brous tissue at the interface.…”

Electromyography evaluation of masseter and temporalis, bite force, and quality of life in elderly patients during the adaptation of mandibular implant‐supported overdentures

“…Usually the bite force increases from 60% to 120%, depending on the patient's gender and age (da Silva et al. ; Dias et al. ).…”
