Abstract

RODRIGUEZ REY, Humberto Manuel et al. Progress of patients with overdenture and immediate load implant. MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.11, pp. 7086-7095. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive longitudinal and prospective study was conducted in "Martires del Moncada" Provincial School of Dentistry of Santiago de Cuba from September 2010 to July 2012 in order to evaluate the progress of 17 patients treated with threaded implants MIS, abutmen or ball attachment, immediately loaded, for which the same prosthesis became a mandibular overdenture supported on the mucosa and retained by the implant, because their conventional prosthetic device lacked the desired functionality. The rehabilitation with this type of overdenture was effective in those patients with compromised biomechanical principles of retention and stability, as well as in those having a good bone availability and in those with greater length implants, thus responding better to treatment. Therefore, their quality of life increased by providing comfort and safety with the use of this prosthetic device.
