    Area of Science:

    • Dental Implantology
    • Prosthodontics
    • Oral Rehabilitation

    Background:

    • The edentulous maxilla presents significant challenges for conventional denture wearers.
    • Implant-supported prostheses offer improved stability and function compared to traditional dentures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To systematically review patient-related outcomes of implant overdentures in the edentulous maxilla.
    • To assess the impact of implant overdentures on patient satisfaction and quality of life.

    Main Methods:

    • A comprehensive systematic literature review was performed.
    • Studies reporting patient-based outcomes and implant/prosthetic success were included.
    • Twenty-three publications representing 20 study cohorts were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Implant overdentures significantly enhance patient satisfaction and quality of life.
    • Palateless designs with 4-6 implants and wide span showed success.
    • Higher failure rates were noted with machined and short implants (<10 mm).

    Conclusions:

    • Implant overdentures are a viable, stabilized removable option for the edentulous maxilla.
    • Implant design and maintenance are critical for long-term success.
    • Further well-designed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are needed to confirm outcomes.
