Abstract
Description
Old age determines the features of orthopedic treatment with removable dentures, which can cause difficulties due to a decrease in the activity of the body's adaptation mechanisms. An important step in improving the prosthetics of edentulous patients was the use of the method of dental implantation. In the course of the work, a comprehensive dental and laboratory examination was carried out in 20 patients aged 50 to 70 years with complete secondary adentia on the basis of the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery and Dental Implantology A.G.M.I. implants with different fixation options. As a result of a comparative analysis of the chewing efficiency of patients, it turned out that implant-supported removable dentures have greater functional indicators than traditional complete dentures.
