Book Description
This richly illustrated book presents different implant supported overdenture application strategies to help clinicians face a widening range of possibilities in edentulous patients. Edentulism is generally correlated with a functional and esthetic challenge for the patient and brings psychological problems, possibly affecting routine activities. Throughout the book, much attention is devoted to preventive prosthodontics emphasizing the importance of any procedure that can delay or eliminate future prosthodontic problems. Overdenture is an important part of the preventive treatment modality. The introductory chapter of this book explains the theoretical and technical background as well as clinical considerations for overdenture. Different attachment systems for overdentures are then described in detail covering stud attachments, bar attachments, magnetic and telescopic attachments. The final part of the volume focuses on the clinical evaluation parameters of an overdenture treatment, supporting tooth preparation and post treatment protocol. This book is a must have for all clinicians who treat complete denture patients. Two companion volumes covering treatment options before and after edentulism, including tooth supported overdentures and implant supported fixed restorations, are available separately.
