Discrepancy between patient satisfaction and biologic complication rate in patients rehabilitated with overdentures and not participating in a structured maintenance program after 7 to 12 years of loading.

CONCLUSION: Despite high levels of satisfaction, patients rehabilitated with overdentures not participating in a structured supportive schedule show high rates of biologic complications. For this reason, they should be strongly motivated, at the time of prosthesis delivery, to participate in a structured maintenance program. PMID: 31184632 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
