Behavior of the patients treated with implantomucoussuported overdentures in the consultation of Oral Implantology at the Teaching Stomatological Clinic III Congreso del PCC. Matanzas

Abstract

One of the therapeutic modalities of the oral prosthesis is the implantomucoussuported overdenture that rehabilitates the total edentulous with the possibility of a direct link of the prosthesis to the osteointegrated implants. We carried out a descriptive observational work, in the consultation of Oral Implantology, of the Teaching Stomatological Clinic III Congreso del Partido, in the perio February-March 2011. The universe was formed by 20 patients with implantomucoussuported overdentures, rehabilitated in the service of implantology. The higher number of patients was in the 51-56 years-old age group (25 %) with equal distribution in both genres. The inferior maxillary was the most treated (17 patients), for 85 %. From the 60 implants put in the mouth, 46 were put in the mandible, for 76 %, and the connection mean 95 % of the patients; the satisfaction level with the treatment was positive and only one patient was evaluated as negative. In the criteria of the authors this proposes a satisfactory option to patients with difficulties to carry mandibular conventional total prosthesis with a high level of satisfaction.
