[Clinical application of implant supported magnet-retained overdenture]
1Center of Implant Dentistry, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology, Beijing 100081, China.
Objective:
To evaluate the clinical effects of implants supported magnet-retained overdenture.
Methods:
From November 1999 to March 2005, 25 cases with edentulous jaws underwent implant-supported magnet-retained overdenture. Among them, 14 patients were male, 11 patients were female. The average age of the patients was 67.6 years. (Range 45 - 79 years). Ninety-five implants used included Komet (18), IMZ (11), Frialit-2 (12), Ankylos (10), Camlog (44). The fellow-up time was from 6 months to 70 months. Clinical examination and radiographs were conducted.
Results:
No infections, nerve or sinus damage or other sequelae occurred. The overdentures were stable and functioned effectively. From November 1999 to March 2005, One Komet abutment was fracture and 1 Frialit-2 implant was lost because of overloading during follow-up. The remaining implants achieved successful osseointegration. Patients were satisfied with the treatment.
Conclusions:
Implant-supported magnet-retained overdenture was a predictable and reliable method, especially for old patients with edentulous jaws.
