ฟันเทียมทั้งปากคร่อมรากฟันเทียม: รายงานผู้ป่วยหลังติดตามผลการรักษา 8 ปี

Abstract

Complete maxillary and mandibular dentures have been used as a conventional treatment of
edentulous patients for longer than century. Many patients struggle to chew and swallow with the
unstable complete mandibular dentures because of their unstability and inadequate retention. Previous
studies have shown that a two-implant retained mandibular overdenture is superior to the conventional
denture in terms of retention and stability. In this case report, a two-implant retained mandibular overdenture
with ball attachments was discussed. After 8 years follow-up, there was no problem or pathology associated
with the implants. The patient’s was satisfied with his overdenture.
