title: Overdenture - implants versus teeth - quality of life and objective therapy evaluation.
abstract: An overdenture is a complete or removable partial denture that has one or more tooth roots or implants to provide a support. The study compares two types of prosthodontic treatment - overdenture supported by remained own teeth with ball attachments and that held by implants. The cohort of 35 patients (recall from 1 to 5 years) was evaluated. When subjectively and objectively assessed no significant difference between both groups was observed.
