Abstract :
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinically
and radiographically median lingualized occlusion in implantretained
mandibular complete overdenture.
Materials and Methods: Ten completely edentulous male
patients were participated in this study. Each patient received
two implants in the intraforaminal area of the edentulous
mandible that were left unloaded for 4 months. Patients were
received conventional maxillary complete denture and implant
mandibular overdenture with ball and socket attachment.
The posterior teeth were set according to median lingualized
occlusion scheme. All patients were evaluated clinically and
radiographically immediately after denture insertion, 6 and
12 months of overdenture insertion.
Results: The results revealed significant differences in probing
depth, gingival index, plaque index, and marginal bone height
between the different follow-up periods. With the limitation of
this study, and according to the results of the mean marginal
bone loss and the other peri-implant parameters after 1 year of
loading.
Conclusion: The implant retained overdenture with the median
lingualized occlusal scheme may be recognized as being acceptable
according to the general implant success rates and criteria.
Key Words: Dental implant, median lingualized occlusion,
overdenture
