Abstract

Implant borne overdentures are a reliable and simple solution to denture retention and stability problems. Such a treatment option requires careful planning and the basis for this is made from the results of clinical trials. An overdenture symposium on this subject was held at Naantali, Finland on 26th August, 1994. The following paper is a summary of the proceedings.

Analysis of influence of lip line and lip support in esthetics and selection of maxillary implant-supported prosthesis design.

The lip line and lip support influence esthetics and selection of implant-supported prosthetic designs for maxillary edentulous patients. This article describes a procedure to analyze the influence of lip line and lip support on the esthetics of an existing maxillary complete denture, revealing potential limitations when planning a fixed implant-supported prosthesis.

[The clinical evaluation on aesthetic effectiveness of implant supported dentures in partially edentulous patients].

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the aesthetic effectiveness of implant supported dentures in partially edentulous patients and the patients' satisfaction on aesthetic effectiveness. METHODS: The aesthetic status of peri-implant gingival and the correlated soft tissue health of implant supported dentures were investigated. The questionnaire of the patients' satisfaction on aesthetic effectiveness had also been collected. RESULTS: 43 interdental papillae of 22 restorations were investigated, 53.4% of which were optimal. And the size of interdental papillae increased during the period of study, which had no relationship with plaque and gingival inflammation. The patients were satisfied with the esthetic effectiveness of implant supported dentures. CONCLUSION: To some extent, the interdental papillae has regeneration ability, but there are no close relationship between regeneration and gingival inflammation. In order to acquire more aesthetic effectiveness, surgical and nonsurgical techniques should be used by clinicians.
