[Implant-retained overdentures. Part 1. Clinical findings from an evaluation study].
A total of 429 patients who had received implant overdenture treatment, were clinically investigated by two dentists. Implant survival was high, especially for implants placed in the mandible. Results for the maxilla appeared far less promising. Complications that were observed predominantly concerned inflammation of the peri-implant tissues and poor oral hygiene. No statistically significant correlation could be found between patient and treatment characteristics at baseline and the clinical treatment outcome.
