Fulltext PDFComplete edentulism is classified by the World Health Organization as a disability based on the ability of the condition to severely impair mastication and speech as well as adversely impact social activity and quality of life for people who are edentulous. For edentulous patients use of conventional dentures can present some limitations especially in the mandible where rapid bone loss that is up to four times that of the edentulous maxilla and the presence of the tongue can be able to impair denture stability, retention and patient comfort. The use of dental implants to support or retain denture prosthesis has resulted in improved masticatory function, retention and stability for edentulous patients significantly improving their quality of life. The goal of this article is to present on two case reports involving Treatment planning of Overdenture and Hybrid prosthesis for Completely edentulous patients.
