    Area of Science:

    • Dental Implantology
    • Prosthodontics
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Osseointegrated implant prostheses offer significant advantages but present challenges.
    • Maintaining adequate lip support and preventing air leakage are common issues.
    • Ensuring effective oral hygiene with implant-supported prostheses can be difficult.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel method addressing inherent problems in osseointegrated implant prostheses.
    • To introduce a removable flange design for improved functional outcomes.
    • To discuss the role of overdentures in prosthetic rehabilitation.

    Main Methods:

    • A removable flange was designed to integrate with osseointegrated implant prostheses.
    • The flange's ability to reestablish lip support and control air escape was evaluated.
    • The use of overdentures was considered for prosthetic gingival surface reconstruction.

    Main Results:

    • The removable flange effectively reestablished lip support.
    • The flange design allowed for necessary access, facilitating competent hygiene procedures.
    • Overdentures were found to provide the required prosthetic gingival surface for improved function.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented method offers a viable solution for common problems associated with osseointegrated implant prostheses.
    • The removable flange enhances both esthetics and function, improving patient quality of life.
    • Overdentures play a crucial role in optimizing food control and speech in patients with implant prostheses.
