Abstract :

The prosthetic management of the edentulous patient has long been a major challenge. Complete maxillary and

mandibular dentures have been the traditional standard of care. However, most of the patients report problems
adapting to their mandibular denture due to a lack of comfort, retention,stability and inability to masticate. Dental implants are increasingly
used as suitable prosthodontic substitutes for natural teeth. The benefits of implant supported mandibular implant overdenture treatment
relative to conventional mandibular denture treatment have been well documented and predictably achieve good clinical results. These include decreased bone resorption, reduced prosthesis movement, better esthetics, improved tooth position, better occlusion, increased occlusal
function and maintenance of the occlusal vertical dimension.This article represents management of completely edentulous patient with
severely resorbed ridge treated with implant supported overdenture.
