Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Lower complete denture retention is a persistent challenge due to alveolar ridge resorption and muscle attachments.
  • Conventional treatments for edentulous patients with oral implants are often limited by bone height, health, or financial constraints, preventing fixed prosthesis construction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of placing two dental implants in the cuspid regions for improving the retention and stability of complete dentures in edentulous patients.

Main Methods:

  • Placement of two dental implants in the cuspid regions, anterior to the mental foramina.
  • Utilizing ball and socket attachments for implant-supported overdentures.

Main Results:

  • The placement of two dental implants significantly improved denture retention and stability.
  • Implant-supported overdentures demonstrated greater success compared to conventional dentures.

Conclusions:

  • Two strategically placed dental implants can effectively enhance the retention and stability of complete dentures.
  • Implant-supported overdentures improve patient comfort, confidence, and function during speech and mastication.
