The edentulous mandible: an organised approach to two implant overdentures

The Complete edentulous population comprises more than 10% of the adult population, a vast majority of these patients are treated with complete dentures. However, most patients find it difficult to adapt to mandibular denture due to lack of retention and stability. Recent scientific studies carried out over the past decade have determined that the mandibular implant supported over denture as the treatment of choice in the edentulous patient regardless of the most clinical situations and has become the minimum standard of care for most completely edentulous mandibles.
