Severe denture instability due to jawbone loss can be resolved with endosteal implants. These implants provide a stable foundation for implant-retained overdentures, significantly improving patient satisfaction and denture function.

Area of Science:

  • Oral surgery
  • Prosthodontics
  • Dental implantology

Background:

  • Tooth loss leads to jawbone resorption, reducing the denture-bearing area.
  • This resorption compromises the retention and stability of conventional dentures.
  • Severe denture instability significantly impacts patients' quality of life.

Observation:

  • Three patients (two women, one man) experienced severe conventional denture problems.
  • Endosteal implants were surgically placed in the jawbone for these patients.
  • Following a healing period, implant-retained overdentures were fabricated.

Findings:

  • All three patients reported high satisfaction with their new implant-retained overdentures.
  • Endosteal implants provided a stable and retentive solution for denture wear.

  • The treatment effectively addressed the challenges of severe jawbone resorption.

    • Implications:

    • Endosteal implants offer a reliable treatment for patients with conventional denture instability.
    • Implant-retained overdentures can restore function and satisfaction in cases of significant jawbone loss.
    • This approach is particularly effective for stabilizing mandibular dentures.
