Abstract

Total toothloss causes a dramatic change in the alveolar bone. Deficits in the vertical and sagittal directions are a permanent challenge to the dentist as, they restrict the possibilities of treatment. The wish of the patient to have a fixed rehabilitation in understandable but often limited due to the local situation. Surgical procedures to improve the bonebed are extensive and costly. Full bridges are often from the esthetical and functional point od view disappointing. Removable bridges or gum-free dentures with very different retention-elements seem to be in many cases the more reliable solution. Clinical cases explain the problems.
