Q. Provision of Additional Tooth Support?

Transitioning a patient from a complete denture to an implant supported fixed prosthesis have resulted in a dramatic improvement in the masticatory performance. Complete denture patients are not able to exert equivalent forces due to the limitation of discomfort in the soft tissues arising as a result of increased pressure on denture bearing areas. The patient with an implant supported fixed prosthesis can exert much more force than with a complete denture. The improved stability and retention of implant supported prosthesis is a vast improvement on soft tissue supported dentures.
