Types of implant overdenture prothesis

What are Overdentures?


An overdenture is a dental prosthetic that eliminates the problems associated
with traditional dentures. Dentures frequently slip during speaking or loosen
while laughing or sneezing.

Dental implants support an overdenture, keeping the prosthesis stable and in


place. This allows you to eat, laugh, and smile without the denture moving
around.

There are many types of implant overdenture:

1) Implant supported overdenture


2) Implant retained over denture
3) Fixed implant suppored overdenture
4) Overdenture partials

A) Implant supported overdenture


It is a type that is supported and attached by implant and in the same time the denture
rests on soft tissues .

It is used when a person does not have any teeth in their jaw, but has enough bone to apply
implants.

It is usually made for lower jaw because of the problems in physical retention of lower
ridge.
How it is work:

There are two types, ball-retained and bar-retained.

1) Bar-retained:

It is a thin metal bar that follows the curve of jaw is attached to 2 or 5 dental implants , the
denture fits over the bar and is securely clipped into place by attachments.

2) Ball-socket retained overdenture:

Each implant has metal attachment that fits into the attachment on the denture in some
cases the ball shape is in the implant and the socket is in the denture and the opposite is
true in some cases.

B) Fixed implant suppported overdenture:

It is a denture that locked in place with screws and cannot be


removed.
Types of attachments used with implant supported overdenture:

1) Stude attachment :

It is consist of a female part which is frictionally retained over the male part, it is classified
according to function into resilient and non-resilient , resilient permits some tissue ward
vertical and rotational movement which protect the implant against overload, but in some
cases it may lead to resorption in the posterior mandibular area .the non-resilient one
tends to prevent any movement of overdenture during function , it is usually used when
there is interocclusal space is limited.

Stude attachments usually used with v-shaped arch

2) Magnet attachment:

It’s usually usd in implant overdenture , the magnet usually cylinderical or dome shaped
attaching to the fitting surface the base of denture, it consist of neodymium-iron-boron
alloy or cobalt alloy , the second part is the ferromagnetic keeper which is screwed into the
implant., it is a type of ttt in complete denture over implants.

3) Telescopic attachmentent:

It’s a double crown (crown and sleeve coping)

4) ERA attachments:

It is extraradicular atttachment with two design systems, the. First is a partial denture
attachment for placement on the proximal aspect of artefcial crow while the second is an
axial attachment for placement inside the ERA implant abutment for the prosthetic
overdenture.

5) Ball attachment:
It is ball and socket as we explained in the previous points .

6) Bar attachment :
As we explained in the previous points.
Effects of attachment types on implant overdenture:

Attachments vary in shape and include ball, bar, locator, magnet, and locator types.
Stud attachments are either rigid (ball) or resilient (magnet, locator, and double crown
attachment).

- The ball attachment is the most commonly used. Its


advantages include ; it is simple manufacturing process
, its cost is not high , its use is easy, has good retention.

- The bar attachment offers retention and distribution of forces resulting in reduced
implant stresses, it is applied in 4 or 6 implants for the minimally invasive
rehabilitation of atrophied ridge.
The disadvantages of bar include technique sensitivity , high cost and difficult
hygiene management .
