About the Webinar

This webinar focuses on mandibular overdentures in geriatric patients, comparing tooth-retained and implant-retained treatment options. It highlights age-related anatomical, functional, and systemic considerations that influence overdenture planning in elderly individuals. The session discusses advantages, limitations, and clinical indications of retaining natural teeth versus using dental implants for overdenture support. Emphasis is placed on patient comfort, masticatory efficiency, maintenance requirements, and long-term prognosis. Clinical decision-making based on bone quality, medical status, and cost-effectiveness will be explored. The webinar aims to help clinicians choose the most appropriate and predictable overdenture option for geriatric patients
