Resorbed Alveolar Ridge
Dr. Kaplan asks,
I have a patient with a severely resorbed alveolar ridge. The only
bone
left is in the mandibular anterior region.
I had 4 regular platform
dental implants placed there engaging the inferior cortical plate of the
mandible.
I was thinking about using magnets for retaining an overdenture because
they
will provide retention and minimal stress on the dental implants. Has
anybody
done a case like this? Any suggestions?
