Abstract

Rehabilitating the completely edentulous patients poses many challenges in the prosthetic dentistry. Providing them with the conventional denture prosthesis is the standard treatment protocol. But the major drawback of this treatment protocol is that the patients generally face difficulty in adapting to the denture prosthesis such as difficulty while mastication, looseness of the denture prosthesis, unstable while speech. To overcome this, tooth supported conventional denture prosthesis has evolved as treatment plan which showed acceptable clinical results and the patient satisfaction was better than as compared to the conventional complete denture prosthesis. Due to the tooth supported denture prosthesis there was reduction in the bone resorption process, stable prosthesis, the esthetics and occlusal functions such as mastication and speech. In this case we shall be discussing two case reports one with mandibular tooth supported over denture prosthesis other one with maxillary tooth supported overdenture prosthesis.

Abstract

The antiquity of the advancement of dental implants is an amusing and mesmerizing travel talk through time, Since the establishment of human life, man have been using dental implants in some way or the other form to compensate the missing tooth. The first known to be used dental implants is certified to Mayan inhabitants somewhere around 600 Ads. In those times they outclassed the substitute of mandibular teeth by making use of pieces of shells as implants. Evidence of radiographs that were taken in the 1970’s of mandible of Mayan reveals formation of compact bone around the foreign implants placed- these bones astonishingly appears so much like that is visible around implant blade. In early Honduran culture around 800 A.D. an implant made up of stone was first constructed and used.
