The rehabilitation of failing implant-supported overdentures often can become a complicated endeavor. The task of restoring a case in which the implant(s) is fractured or is old and has been discontinued with no replacement parts available frequently is quite problematic. This article describes the use of the LOCATOR® Overdenture Implant (LODI) to rehabilitate a patient with a mandibular implant-retained overdenture following the failure of her 32-year-old transosteal implant.

Dental implants have always played an important role in dentistry and have been used to replace missing teeth since around 600 AD. They can be classified into three groups: endosteal, subperiosteal, and transosteal. Over time, different materials have been used to manufacture dental implants and these, in turn, can be divided into three groups: metals, ceramics, and polymers.

Edentulous mandible frequently undergoes severe bone atrophy with problems of prosthetic instability. Instability of the lower denture may cause difficulties with eating and speech, ulcerations of the oral mucosa for lower denture trauma, loss of facial vertical dimension. These problems may be solved by bone augmentation of severe resorption of edentulous mandible.

Distraction osteogenesis is a biologic process of new bone formation between the surfaces of bone segments that are gradually separated by incremental traction. This method of providing additional bone and soft tissue for implant placement is becoming more common. This clinical report describes the use of distraction osteogenesis and a fixed implant-supported prosthesis to treat a premaxillary defect.
