implant supported overdenture

The discipline of implant dentistry has without a doubt enhanced dental care. Various treatment options are now available for restoration of an edentulous region. Dental implant restorations have been shown to have the highest survival rate as compared to any other type of prosthesis for the replacement of missing teeth. Associated with these benefits is an added responsibility on the implant practitioner since implant surgery is an invasive procedure. The treatment planning for an implant restoration is unique regarding the number of variables that may influence the therapy. Of prime importance is recognition of the fact that a definitive treatment plan should be developed sequentially in order to ensure the best possible service.
