  • Title: Implant-stabilized overdentures.
    Author: Davis DM.
    Journal: Dent Update; 1997 Apr; 24(3):106-9. PubMed ID: 9515375.
    Abstract:
    Implant-stabilized overdentures can be used successfully to restore the edentulous mouth, and there are many good reasons why this treatment should be selected in preference to using fixed dentures. However, as with any treatment, there must be a strong commitment to after care if the overdenture is to remain successful. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using implants to stabilize overdentures, examines their success rates and discusses the extent of after care.
