Abstract

Uses of modern dental implants are providing new options for the treatment of complete upper and lower edentulism. Implant-supported removable overdentures have proven to be an effective treatment option, especially for the treatment of patients with severely atrophied residual ridges.

This clinical report describes the treatment of a completely edentulous patient complaining of a lack of retention and stability of her existing mandibular conventional complete denture. Clinical steps and laboratory procedures involved in the fabrication of a removable mandibular overdenture supported by a milled Dolder bar will be described in detail in this chapter.
