Interim rehabilitation of an edentulous situation with an overdenture retained by short implants during a staged vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation: a dental technique.
Quintessence International 2023 Februrary 2
Interim rehabilitation of edentulous patients is essential in implant prosthodontics. However, surgical augmentation may be required for patients with reduced bone density, which complicates the use of an interim prosthesis. This report describes the rehabilitation of an edentulous patient with an interim maxillary overdenture retained by short implants with individual attachments during the healing period of vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation. This technique increased the stability of the interim prosthesis even with shortened flanges to eliminate any pressure on the surgical site. This technique could also be used when immediate loading is not possible due to lack of primary stability of the implants placed for definitive fixed prostheses.
