An Introduction to Implant Supported Overdentures
Boston, MA •Friday, May 22, 2015 • 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
In contrast to this major benefit offered with implant supported overdentures, it is well known that removable prostheses in general –tooth or implant supported – exhibit the highest incidence of technical complications of any type of dental prosthesis over time.
