The use of osseointegrated implants to restore edentulous jaws and jaws has increased in the treatment of geriatric patients. Practical dentistry has demonstrated the successful application of oral implant procedures in older patients. The overdenture is an excellent implant prosthesis treatment modality with a good biological and functional response in these patients. Various implants can be retentive components, via a bar or ball attachment, of overdentures. Treatment planning and medical evaluation are necessary to optimize the benefits of oral rehabilitation with implant overdentures on quality of life in geriatric patients.

In recent years, osseointegrated implants have been successfully incorporated into everyday dental practice. It has been determined that dental implants can be used successfully for various prosthetic rehabilitations of the partially and totally edentulous patient. In this sense, oral implantology has made an important advance in the dental care of elderly adult patients, where progressive edentulism had had a negative impact on their oral health and quality of life.

Classically, there is the old age predicament and total edentulousness. In this sense, the satisfied dental needs of this population group correspond to the limited benefits of a complete removable dental prosthesis. The discovery of osseointegration has profoundly changed this landscape, ushering in a new era in prosthetic rehabilitation and the direct benefit of oral implantology among elderly patients.

The possibility of a direct bonding of the prosthesis to the osseointegrated implants, and the transmission of the forces from the artificial teeth to the maximum and / or the jaw, has not only ensured the stability of the prosthesis, but has also reduced trauma to the tissues. oral softgels, and it has improved the feeling among many elderly patients that their artificial teeth have become an integral part of themselves, dramatically increasing their oral quality of life.

Although it requires a comprehensive diagnosis and prior clinical planning, implant therapy is safe and predictable. The satisfactory results of the different systems have been documented with a good long-term prognosis, which makes it possible to recommend their use among elderly patients.

Among the various types of implant prostheses in geriatric patients, overdentures in edited jaws have a rapid increase with good evidence of favorable outcomes. This reality responds to sociocultural and economic changes in older adults, the evolution of dentistry, a better prosthetic technique, and a greater aesthetic and functional demand on the part of these patients in the face of total edentulism.
