Current trends for maxillary implant overdentures

초록

The purpose of this review was to provide the current research trends for maxillary implant overdentures and to provide an update on recent research focused on the numbers of implants and attachment types. A literature search was conducted on maxillary overdenture research published during 2020. We excluded studies that contained tooth-supported overdentures and denture fabrication or those that contained a case report or pilot study. After screening the title, abstract, and full-text, sixteen studies were included for this review. Although many studies were carried out on attempts to reduce the number of implants, overall analysis of studies suggests that four regular implants with proper attachment systems excluding magnet attachments are still recommended for overdentures in contemporary dentistry.
