Core Tip

Core Tip: The extensively resorbed mandibular ridge is the most common issue when treating edentulous patients, particularly as they age and lose some of their adaptive abilities. This often leads to the fabrication of unsatisfactory dentures with low retention and stability, potentially exacerbating psychological issues. In contrast, patients with maladaptive dentures showed excellent clinical outcomes with implant-supported overdentures. For edentulous patients, the mandibular 2-implant overdenture is the preferred treatment approach.
