Before the introduction of Implant in Dentistry the elderly population used to get the missing teeth replaced with complete denture. The main disadvantages patients were facing-
- Lack of retention
- Difficulty in speech, mastication, ability to chew.
- Altered taste sensation.
- Bone resorption.
- Denture stomatitis.
To overcome the disadvantages of removable complete denture implant supported prosthesis is introduced. The different types of prosthetic options are-
Implant supported fixed prosthesis
Implant supported semi fixed prosthesis
Hence, The advantages being offered by the implant supported prosthesis are-
- Improved retention.
- No difficulty in speech, and mastication.
- No altered taste sensation.
- Diminished bone resorption.
The choice of prosthesis is dependant upon the systemic and economical condition of the patient.
