Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Dental implants in edentulous patients have been widely discussed, and how to do simple, fast, and economic is working hard. To investigate the clinical effect of immediately loading of two implants supporting a ball-cap attachment-retained implant-supported overdenture in patients with mandibular alveolar ridge atrophy. METHODS: Totally 13 patients of with mandibular alveolar ridge atrophy were selected and treated with ITI implant system and ITI ball-cap attachment system, every case had 2 implants in mandible only and loaded immediately when ball-cap attachments implant-supported overdenture was finished. The applied effect of overdenture was followed-up for 24 months. RESULTS: Every implant was stability, there was not obvious bone absorbed around implant marginal bone, and the overdenture could supply reliable retention and highly masticatory efficiency. Slight mucosal response was found around implants in 3 cases and was cured by maintenance. CONCLUSION: Immediately loading of two implants supporting a ball-cap attachment-retained implant-supported overdenture in patients with mandibular alveolar ridge atrophy was a simple, fast, economic, and feasible mean of dental prosthesis.
