Abstract:
Proper treatment planning is critical to achieving a successful outcome when treating patients with implant overdenture restorations. Key factors related to success include the number, location, and distribution of implants and choice of abutment. Contemporary design of stud-style abutment systems for overdentures is aimed at accommodating patients who present with challenges such as anatomical limitations or poor dexterity hampering insertion and removal of prostheses. This article describes the effective management of excessive angulation to achieve an enhanced outcome with implant overdenture treatment, even with a less-than-ideal clinical presentation.
