Implant Overdenture

The concept of a two-implant overdenture as the minimum standard of care or first choice treatment for the edentulous mandible was first proposed in 2002 and has since been backed by an overwhelming body of evidence supporting greater patient satisfaction and improved quality of life. This article examines the implant overdenture concept and its various options and discusses best practice from both the patient's and a medico-legal standpoint.

Background: Loss of teeth affects the masticatory ability and overall health of the patient especially posterior teeth as they contribute more to mastication as compared to anteriors. Loss of teeth can lead to undesirable consequences and early rehabilitation with any type of prosthesis can lead to desirable changes and thus missing teeth should be replaced as soon as possible. Aims and Objectives: To determine the change in masticatory ability and quality of life (QoL) after replacement of missing posterior teeth by fixed dental prosthesis. Methodology: Maximum bite force was recorded before and after treatment. Also a self-perceived questionnaire was filled by the patient to assess the change in QoL. Patients with missing posterior teeth were included. Patients with acute infections or systemic diseases were excluded. Results: Significant change (p=0.0001) in both masticatory ability and QoL of the patient was seen. The co-relation of both was clinically significant while statistically non-significant (p=0.77). Results were significant for both the studied parameters but co-relation between them was no significant. It is because of the patients perceived satisfaction of the overall treatment. Conclusion: Rehabilitation of posterior teeth improves mastication and also overall oral health related QoL.

Abstract Background This study investigated whether achieving a higher degree of knee flexion after TKA promoted the ability to perform high-flexion activities, as well as patient satisfaction and quality of life. Methods Clinical data on 912 consecutive primary TKA cases involving a single high-flexion posterior stabilized fixed-bearing prosthesis were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic and clinical data were collected, including knee flexion angle, the ability to perform high-flexion activities, and patient satisfaction and quality of life. Results Of the cases, 619 (68%) achieved > 130° of knee flexion after TKA (high flexion group). Knee flexion angle and clinical scores showed significant annual changes, with the maximum improvement seen at 5 years and slight deterioration observed at 10 years postoperatively. In the high flexion group, more than 50% of the patients could not kneel or squat, and 35% could not stand up from on the floor. Multivariate analysis revealed that > 130° of knee flexion, the ability to perform high-flexion activities (sitting cross-legged and standing up from the floor), male gender, and bilateral TKA were significantly associated with patient satisfaction after TKA, while the ability to perform high-flexion activities (sitting cross-legged and standing up from the floor), male gender, and bilateral TKA were significantly associated with patient quality of life after TKA. Conclusions High knee flexion angle (> 130°) after TKA increased the ease of high-flexion activities and patient satisfaction. The ease of high-flexion activities also increased quality of life after TKA in our Asian patients, who frequently engage in these activities in daily life.
