Teamwork in implant dentistry: the provision of a maxillary implant retained overdenture

This case demonstrates a pragmatic, yet systematic, team approach to resolving a challenging clinical situation. It is essential to understand and accept the challenges presented and limitations of the treatment options available in the provision of an MIO. The dental surgeon and clinical dental technician collaborated using their combined skills set. Working as a team gives each clinician a greater appreciation of the difficulties faced clinically and technically. We believe that an enhanced standard of care is delivered to patients by using this team approach.
