Hence, implant supported overdentures have been advocated in the literature as a means of preserving the structures associated with mandibular denture support, in turn augmenting retention and stability. The longetivity of the prostheses is extended as the problems with Due to improved quality of life, implant supported overdentures have gained wide acceptance. The problem of stability and retention with complete dentures has been overcome, thus extending the longevity of the prostheses.
