Abstract
In order to satisfy the need to restore the aesthetics, phonetics and comfort and to facilitate optimal hygiene procedures, 20 edentulous patients were treated with a new concept of overdenture therapy on implants and modum Brånemark. After 24 +/- 3.5 months the patients were re-examined. They were asked to answer a questionnaire and use a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to give their opinion on the prosthetic treatment. The results indicate that an implant-retained overdenture in the maxilla with this design can satisfy the patients needs in aesthetics, phonetics and comfort and can facilitate oral hygiene measures.Keywords
