Özet

Objective:: Recording of the change of the occlusal forces in the transition to the implant-supported removable prosthesis by connecting the existing complete denture prosthesis of the patients to the implants. A 56-year-old completely edentulous male patient applied to our clinic to have his removable prosthesis on the implant, after the required time for the osseointegration of 3 implants in the anterior region of the mandible. It was planned to make a removable prosthesis on the implant with ball-attachment retaining for the patient, and then a new mandibular complete denture prosthesis was prepared. The distribution of occlusal contact points was recorded using the T-Scan III system before and after attaching the complete denture to the new implants, whose occlusal contacts were fixed. In our study, the distribution rate of the occlusal contacts of the total prosthesis after attachment to the implants gave values very close to the state arranged before. Therefore, there was no need to rearrange the occlusal contacts.
