implant denture

implant denture, a complete or partial denture that includes a subperiosteally or intraperiosteally implanted framework in contact with alveolar bone. The denture attaches to one or more posts that project from the framework through the connective tissues and mucous membranes. A variety of designs are available. This type of solution to the loss of natural teeth requires a strong commitment by the patient to practice effective oral hygiene measures.
