Oral Rehabilitation of an Elderly Edentulous Patient with Osteoarthritis Using an Implant-supported Mandibular Prosthesis with Locator Abutments
A 78-year-old man was referred to the dental hospital by his general dental practitioner. He was a non-smoker but was taking a number of medications as prescribed by his general medical practitioner, including atorvastatin-calcium for high cholesterol, lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide for hypertension, warfarin as an anticoagulant, and metformin for the management of type 2 diabetes. The patient also suffered from osteoarthritis in both hands. The patient was edentulous in the maxilla and partially dentate in the mandible. A mandibular acrylic partial lower denture had been recently delivered but was poorly tolerated.
