Course Description

Implant-supported overdentures provide clinicians with a cost-effective means of restoring the edentulous arch. Various attachment systems have been implemented in the fabrication of these prostheses. The key to a predictable restorative outcome is planning ahead for the desired abutment and attachment before dental implants are placed.

Course Objectives

As a result of attending this course you should be able to:

  • Describe various attachment systems used for implant overdentures.
  • Realize the importance of prosthetically-driven implant and abutment planning for overdenture therapy.
  • Understand the impact of implant divergence and restorative space requirements for implant overdentures.
