Abstract

The overdentures anchored with implants are a good choice for patients with severe atrophy of the alveolar ridge, particularly in the lower jaw. In the frontal part (mental region) of such ridges the possibility of placing two implants usually exists. Such prostheses anchored with implants, particularly in the case of patients who had previously worn dentures, ensure sufficient retention and stability and contribute to good function. Many types of precise connective elements exist which can be applied in such situations. The choice depends on several factors: available space for the connective element (degree of atrophy, intermaxillary relations), mutual parallelism - disparallelism and the number of placed implants, the possibility and method of loading the implant (length of the implant and primary stability), the implantological system itself and the spectre of the prosthetic restoration. As a part of the team the dental technician is extremely important, his skill and ability to fabricate such a restoration, utilising either ready-made or individually fabricated connective elements.
