Using full dentures, particularly on the lower jaw, can be challenging due to the constant movement of the tongue and mobile cheek tissues, making stabilization difficult and adaptation cumbersome. For completely edentulous patients, implant-supported removable dentures improve stability by placing a minimum of 2 implants in the lower jaw and at least 4 implants in the upper jaw. This approach eliminates issues such as dentures dislodging or moving while eating or speaking. Implant-supported removable dentures are an excellent choice for patients seeking economical and reliable solutions without the need for additional surgical techniques required for fixed implant applications.

After clinical and radiological evaluations, completely edentulous patients deemed suitable for implants can receive a minimum of 2 implants in the lower jaw and at least 4 in the upper jaw to design implant-supported removable dentures. Once the implants have integrated with the bone (osseointegration), components providing retention, such as bars, locators, or ball attachments, are attached to the implants. These components are chosen based on the patient’s oral condition and preferences. The denture base features specialized sockets that correspond to the attachments on the implants, creating a key-and-lock system for enhanced stability. The alignment of these parts is finalized using special materials during the fitting process.
