### **Dental implant based on gum tissue**
In this method, implants are placed in the upper and lower jaw of the person to play the role of the base of the dental prosthesis... After implanting, the artificial tooth is fixed based on the gum tissue and that is why it is called a fixed overdenture...

A bar overdenture is one of the types of overdenture that reduces the number of implants... The bases of this overdenture are usually placed in the place of canine teeth... ### **Overdenture based on ball-shaped implants**
In this method, 2 or 4 implants are placed in the jawbone, and a ball-shaped abutment is used to connect the implant to the prosthesis.. Overdenture has a more natural ball-shaped implant than artificial teeth and is easier to clean.. Also, its parts are easily replaceable.. In this method, one or two implants appear instead of other artificial teeth.. Suitable for those who still have some of their teeth...
### **initial assessment and treatment planning**
First of all, a person should consult his dentist to check the condition of the jawbone and the health of the teeth and gums.. At this stage, it may be necessary to take pictures to check the density and volume of the jawbone.
- Extraction of damaged or unusable teeth
- Treatment of gum diseases
- Bone grafting if needed
### **Dental implant planting**
At this stage, the number of implants needed to install an overdenture is implanted in the jawbone. Since the implantation of implants may take several months, during this time, a temporary prosthesis is placed inside the patient's mouth so that after 3 to 6 months, the overdenture can be placed on it.
At this stage, the overdenture is connected to the implants, which can be fixed or mobile.
Orthodontics as an artificial tooth can have advantages and disadvantages as follows:
### Advantages of overdenture

What is the difference between overdenture and dental implant?
One of the things that may be important for many people in choosing the type of prosthesis is to know the difference between some types of dental prostheses.... One of these differences is the difference between overdentures and dental implants.. be mentioned:
### Difference in application
As mentioned, an overdenture is a type of removable prosthesis that is placed on the implant or the remaining teeth.
But the implant is fixed with a screw in the jawbone and the dental crown is installed on it... ### Stability and efficiency
Even if the overdenture is fixed in place using an implant or the remaining teeth.. but it can still be moved.. but the implant is fixed in place and acts like a natural tooth.. while an implant acts like a natural tooth.. ### Cost
The cost of an overdenture is lower than a complete implant.. because the implant costs more
### How to maintain
Overdenture needs to be removed and cleaned daily, and it should be removed from the mouth every night to rest the gums.. But it is easier to maintain than fixed implants.. Dental implants, like natural teeth, need special and special care.. ### Longevity
The lifespan of an overdenture is about 5 to 10 years.. while a dental implant can last 20 years or more if properly cared for and can even last a lifetime...
... These two prostheses are different from each other in several ways, which we will describe below:
### How to insert
The overdenture is placed on the implants or the remaining teeth.... If the artificial tooth is placed directly on the gum and jawbone... ### Stability and stability
Because it is placed on the implant or on the remaining teeth, the overdenture is more stable than the complete prosthesis.. Also, the possibility of shifting or displacing the overdenture is very low due to its greater stability when chewing food or talking... ### Chewing performance
Overdentures are closer to natural teeth due to their better stability.. But artificial teeth have limited chewing power and performance, and hard or sticky foods cannot be easily consumed with them.. In overdenture, it helps to maintain the density of the jaw bone due to the use of implants.. However, artificial teeth cause direct pressure on the gums and jawbone and cause bone loss over time.. ### Cost
Since placing an overdenture requires implant bases and surgery to do this, it costs much more than placing artificial teeth. Using an overdenture is very simple.. Because it stays in place and does not irritate the gums, and it also feels more stable when the patient is chewing or talking... dentures may cause sores or gum irritation, and its use may be a bit annoying in the first weeks...
