Loss of teeth results in resorption of the jaws. As a consequence the denture bearing area progressively reduces, eventually causing loss of retention and stability of the conventional denture. In three patients, two women aged 36 and 37 and a man aged 46, suffering from severe problems with their conventional dentures endosteal implants were inserted in the jawbone. After the healing period the dentist fabricated an implant-retained overdenture. The patients were very satisfied with the final result. Endosteal implants are, especially in the mandible, a reliable treatment modality for a stable implant-retained denture in case of patients suffering from retention problems with their conventional dentures.
