title: Management of a fully edentulous mandible using an implant supported overdenture: a case report.
abstract: The choice for rehabilitation of an edentulous mandible by an implant supported overdenture is now the recommended minimally accepted option. This prosthesis has many advantages over conventional dentures and root or tooth supported overdentuers. We present a case of a failed conventional long span bridge which was treated satisfactorily using a four implant supported over denture and discuss our treatment option along with its advantages. This is a new and developing treatment option in our country.
