Abstract
Rehabilitation of the patient with resorbed ridge has been a challenging procedure. Replacement with complete dentures has been the most common traditional standard of care. But there were many drawbacks in the atrophic mandible which includes lack of comfort, retention, stability, and inability to masticate. To overcome this drawback implant-supported over-denture came into use. The advantage of implant-supported over-denture over other treatment modalities are as follows: decreased bone resorption, reduced prosthesis movement, better esthetics, improved tooth position, better occlusion, increased occlusal function, and maintenance of the occlusal vertical dimension. In this article, we discussed the placement of two implants in the inter-canine region of the mandibular ridge and providing a conventional denture. Three months later this complete denture was converted into implant-supported mandibular over denture.
