Implant-retained overdenture following hemiglossectomy: a 10-year clinical case report

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation

Abstract

A clinical evaluation of an implant-supported overdenture placed in the edentulous mandible after hemiglossectomy is described. The deltopectoral flap covering the mandibular ridge was replaced with a free mucosal graft. Four Brånemark system implants were inserted into the anterior part of the mandible, but one of the four fixtures did not show osseointegration. The superstructure was designed as a spaced round bar-attachment supported by three implants so as to retain the complete overdenture. In addition to the metal clip, a silicone-based soft denture liner material was applied in the female portion of the attachment so as to prevent the attachment from making a clattering noise upon mastication. Although the overdenture required adjustment at regular intervals, the treatment was successful both aesthetically and functionally for up to at least 10 years.
