There are several treatment modalities for completely edentulous patients including conventional complete dentures (CDs), implant-supported overdentures (IODs), and implant-supported fixed prosthesis. Patients with a severely resorbed mandible often experience problems with their conventional CDs. Treatment concepts involving IODs have proven to be as satisfactory as implant-supported fixed prosthesis with added advantage of ease in hygiene maintenance and less cost. This clinical report summarizes a simplified and accurate method of fabricating two implant-supported mandibular overdentures. In this case, two implants were placed in the intercanine region of mandibular ridge and conventional CD was installed. Three months later, this CD was converted into implant-supported mandibular overdenture. Conventional CDs have shown less satisfaction rates by patients over a period of time in terms of function. Moreover, there are researches showing increased rate of resorption with these dentures. Thus, IODs are used routinely to provide a better quality of life to edentulous patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/njms.njms_34_19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]],"date-time":"2022-05-25T07:33:43Z","timestamp":1653464023000},"page":"S220-S224","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Prosthetic rehabilitation of resorbed mandible with two implant-supported overdentures using ball attachments"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Krishna Kumar","family":"Varshney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vishwas","family":"Bhatia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-42-20240908","first-page":"53","article-title":"A prospective evaluation of the fate of 697 consecutive intraoral fixtures ad modum Br\u00e5nemark in the rehabilitation of edentulism","volume":"6","author":"van Steenberghe","year":"1987","journal-title":"J Head Neck Pathol"},{"key":"R2-42-20240908","first-page":"401","article-title":"Prosthetic aspects and patient satisfaction with two-implant-retained mandibular overdentures: A 10-year randomized clinical study","volume":"17","author":"Naert","year":"2004","journal-title":"Int J Prosthodont"},{"key":"R3-42-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"630","DOI":"10.1177\/154405910408300809","article-title":"An eight-year follow-up to a randomized clinical trial of participant satisfaction with three types of mandibular implant-retained overdentures","volume":"83","author":"Timmerman","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Dent Res"},{"key":"R4-42-20240908","first-page":"536","article-title":"A longitudinal study on mandibular implants supporting an overdenture: The influence of retention mechanism and anatomic-prosthetic variables on periimplant parameters","volume":"14","author":"Oetterli","year":"2001","journal-title":"Int J Prosthodont"},{"key":"R5-42-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102","DOI":"10.1016\/j.prosdent.2005.11.017","article-title":"Surgical and prosthetic planning for a two-implant-retained mandibular overdenture: A clinical report","volume":"95","author":"Lee","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Prosthet Dent"},{"key":"R6-42-20240908","first-page":"29","article-title":"Two-implant mandibular overdentures: Simple to fabricate and easy to wear","volume":"69","author":"Klemetti","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Can Dent Assoc"},{"key":"R7-42-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1097\/01.id.0000202419.21665.36","article-title":"Attachment systems for implant retained overdentures: A literature review","volume":"15","author":"Trakas","year":"2006","journal-title":"Implant Dent"},{"key":"R8-42-20240908","first-page":"255","article-title":"A randomized clinical trial comparing two mandibular implant overdenture designs: 3-year prosthetic outcomes using a six-field protocol","volume":"16","author":"Walton","year":"2003","journal-title":"Int J Prosthodont"},{"key":"R11-42-20240908","first-page":"311","article-title":"Prosthesis design for osseointegrated implants in the edentulous maxilla","volume":"7","author":"Desjardins","year":"1992","journal-title":"Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants"},{"key":"R12-42-20240908","first-page":"259","article-title":"Mandibular overdentures: Comparative evaluation of prosthodontic maintenance of three different implant systems during the first year of service","volume":"15","author":"Watson","year":"2002","journal-title":"Int J Prosthodont"}],"container-title":["National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/njms.NJMS_34_19","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T14:55:23Z","timestamp":1787756123000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/njms.NJMS_34_19"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,8]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Suppl 1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/njms.njms_34_19","relation":{},"ISSN":["0975-5950"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0975-5950","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,8]]}}}
