Abstract
Background: Retention and support for the conventional complete dentures primarily dependent upon theresidual alveolar ridge and mucosa. Patients with poor mandibular ridge foundation usually suffer frominadequate denture retention and stability. In such cases, implant-supported overdenture treatment providesimproved prosthesis retention and support and thus greatly increasing patient’s acceptance toward prosthesisas when compared to conventional dentures.Case Report: The present case report describes a successful rehabilitation of resorbed mandibular ridgewith an overdenture supported by two implants and 10 years of follow-up was performed and discussed.Conclusion: Implant-supported overdenture provides a strong return for the investment in treatment time andexpense. The clinical outcome of this treatment is significantly better than that achieved with conventionalmandibular dentures, especially when patients are experiencing technical problems because of compromisedprosthesis retention and stability.
