SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
This study was conducted to evaluate clinically and radiographically the occlusally reactive implant-supported mandibular overdentures. Twelve male patients with completely edentulous mandible opposed by natural maxillary teeth were selected. Occlusal adjustment of maxillary natural teeth was performed for every patient to create a harmonious occlusion.
Each patient received four 13mm length and 3.75 diameter root form titanium implants in the anterior region of the mandible between the mental foramena. Then the patients were divided into two groups. Each group consists of six patients. Group I received mandibular implant-supported overdenture retained by ball and socket attachment and supplied with an occlusal reactive layer of resilient thermoplastic material. Group II received mandibular implant-supported overdenture retained by the same attachment only as a control group.
Clinical biomechanical and radiographic evaluation was carried out for every patient at regular recall appointments up to one year from functional loading. After loading of the implants, all fixtures were successfully osseointegrated throughout the study
period.
