Implant-supported overdentures are becoming the treatment of choice for the completely edentulous mandible. They significantly improve the quality of life in edentulous patients. For this review article, the literature was searched to identify pertinent studies. No meta-analysis was conducted because of high heterogeneity within the literature. Accordingly, in this review article, the author provides an update on implant-supported mandible overdentures with regard to the number of implants, type of loading, stress-strain distribution, mode of implant-to-denture attachment, occlusal considerations and complications.
种植体支持的覆盖义齿正成为全口无牙下颌的首选治疗方法。它们显著提高了无牙患者的生活质量。在这篇综述文章中,检索了相关文献以确定相关研究。由于文献中存在高度异质性,未进行荟萃分析。因此,在这篇综述文章中,作者就种植体数量、加载类型、应力应变分布、种植体与义齿的连接方式、咬合考虑因素和并发症等方面,对种植体支持的下颌覆盖义齿进行了更新。
