Abstract

The marginal bone loss (MBL) and survival rates of dental implants in patients with disabilities were comparable to those reported for patients without disabilities. Despite the viability of implants for disabled patients, socioeconomic issues and general condition of disabled patients prevent them from receiving as many implants as they require in edentulous areas. However, because of the difficulty of adaptation, the use of complete den-tures (CD) is not the preferred treatment option for those with disabilities. Consequently, disabled patients canbenefit from the convenience and lower cost of an implant surveyed crown retained removable partial denture(IC-RPD). The survival rates and MBL of those implants in IC-RPD have already established the clinical acceptability as a treatment option for patients who are not disabled. IC-RPD can be future implant treatment strategies for disabled patients.
