| Abstract |
|
The author applied the attachment fixation overdenture on the patient whose residual alveolar ridge height was poor to increase mechanical denture retention, and observed the periodontal condition of the abutment roots after insertion of attachment fixation overdenture. The author obtained the conclusions as follows; 1. Attachment fixation overdenture showed better mechanical retention than conventional overdenture did, but it resulted unfavorable crown-root ratio. 2. Within one year after insertion, there were not significant changes in periodontal health, which was indicated by plaque index, gingival index, pocket depth, tooth mobility gingival hyperplasia and alveolar bone change. 3. Mild periodontal thickening was observed. 4. This study emphasized the importance of adequate follow-up care and home care instructions. |
