Abstract

Teeth are important structures in the oral cavity with many associated functions. Loss of teeth may be inevitable due to several reasons. Replacement of teeth should be done to restore the functions like mastication, phonetics, and esthetics. Modern dentistry aims to return patients to normal oral health and function in a predictable fashion. Satisfying a completely edentulous patient is always considered as a difficult task. Various treatment options for completely edentulous patients are available: conventional complete dentures, overdentures, implant supported overdentures, implant supported fixed prosthesis. Full arch implant supported fixed prosthesis is a well established treatment modality for edentulous patient.
