- Preventive dentistry
Context:
- Long-term outcomes of overdenture therapy.
- Alveolar bone loss is a significant concern in prosthodontics.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of overdenture therapy in preventing alveolar bone loss.
- To assess the incidence of caries and periodontal diseases in patients undergoing overdenture therapy.
Summary:
- Overdenture therapy appears successful in preventing alveolar bone loss.
- Caries and periodontal diseases are prevalent without preventive measures.
- Optimal oral hygiene, fluoride, and chlorhexidine improve prognosis.
Impact:
