Abstract
Literature has proved that implant-retained overdenture is one of the best prosthetic options in the rehabilitation of complete edentulism. Tissue-supported implant-retained overdentures have been an appropriate treatment modality for atrophic mandibular ridges. In this case report, the patient presented with Class I maxillomandibular relationship and Class II Prosthodontic Diagnostic Index. The patient was concerned about esthetics as well as the retention of the lower denture. Taking into consideration the above concerns, an implant-retained mandibular overdenture was the chosen treatment modality. There are numerous attachment systems that have been used to improve the retention, stability, and support of implant-retained overdenture. Every attachment system has its own set of advantages. The OT Equator is a new line of low-profile attachment which is a radically modified OT-CAP Normo. The rationale for using this attachment is that it is considered the smallest attachment system available with the least overall dimension. It is a resilient and self-aligning attachment system which can be used in limited inter-arch space situation. OT equator derives its name from the OT Dental Laboratory (Bologna, Italy) used as a brand name. Considering these advantages, this was the chosen attachment and proved beneficial in terms of both patient satisfaction and the overall success of the treatment.
文献证明种植固位覆盖义齿是全牙义齿修复的最佳选择之一。组织支持种植保留覆盖义齿是治疗萎缩下颌骨嵴的一种合适的治疗方式。在本病例报告中,患者表现为I类上颌骨关系和II类修复诊断指数。患者担心美观以及下义齿的固位。考虑到以上问题,选择种植保留下颌覆盖义齿作为治疗方式。有许多附着系统已被用于改善种植固位覆盖义齿的固位、稳定性和支持。每一种依恋系统都有自己的优点。OT赤道是一种新的低姿态附件,这是一个彻底修改OT- cap Normo。使用此附件的基本原理是,它被认为是最小的附件系统,具有最小的总体尺寸。它是一种弹性自对准的附着系统,可用于有限的拱间空间。奥特赤道源于奥特牙科实验室(博洛尼亚,意大利)作为一个品牌名称。考虑到这些优点,这是被选择的附件,并且在患者满意度和治疗的整体成功方面证明是有益的。
