Main Article Content
Abstract
Complete edentulism presents a significant functional, esthetic, and psychological challenge for patients. Traditional removable dentures often fall short in providing long-term stability, comfort, and chewing efficiency. Dental implantation has emerged as a transformative solution for completely edentulous patients, offering fixed or implant-supported removable prostheses that enhance quality of life. This article explores modern approaches in implant therapy for complete edentulism, including diagnostic protocols, treatment planning, surgical techniques, and prosthetic options, with a focus on long-term clinical success and patient satisfaction.
