Implants play a life-saving role in completely edentulous patients. These cases are condemned to removable removable prostheses, which we call full dentures, which have no support or attachment other than tissue. These removable prostheses can cause resorption in the jaw bones. With the loss of volume in the jaws, the prosthesis support is lost, and the retention of the prosthesis decreases with the effect of the surrounding muscle tissues. Due to these problems, the use of full dentures is very difficult for patients.

In cases of complete edentulism, rehabilitation is carried out in two ways:

1.If the bone tissue and volume are suitable for implantation, 6 or 8 implants can be applied to the jawbone and patients can be offered the chance for a fixed prosthetic bridge. These bridges have the appearance and function of natural teeth. Thanks to the implants applied, the resorption of the jawbone is also prevented, thus protecting the facial contours. With the confidence that the using comfort offered by fixed prostheses gives to people, the psychological effects caused by the lack of teeth are also prevented. Therefore, patient satisfaction is kept at the maximum level.

2.Implants can also be used to support full dentures, as the bone volume does not allow for a fixed arch restoration. With 2 or 4 implants placed in the jawbone, retention of the full dentures is ensured and the displacement of the dentures during chewing or speaking can be prevented. Patients who have difficulty in getting used to full dentures, which we call the palate, and who suffer from palate injuries caused by excessive movement of the prosthesis, are able to continue their social lives more comfortably with this form of treatment, which allows the freedom of chewing and speaking comfortably. Since this treatment method is more economical, it can also be preferred over implant-supported fixed restorations.
