ATTACHMENT IN IMPLANT RETAINED DENTURE

Dental implant treatment has revolutionized oral rehabilitation in partially and fully edentulous patients. When the concept of osseointegration was introduced in 1977 by Per Ingvar Branemark in relation to titanium endosseous implants, it became possible to achieve high success rates in association with this treatment modality, and multiple investigations have demonstrated an excellent long-term prognosis.Placing implants to enhance the support, retention, and stability of an overdenture creates a more favourable environment for successful restoration. This is also an ideal treatment modality to begin a learning curve in implant dentistry. There is more leeway in implant position or prosthesis fabrication with mandibular implant overdenture. Hence, one of the most beneficial treatments rendered to patients is also the best introduction for a dentist into the discipline of implant dentistry.
