Clinical Report on an Implant-Supported Overdenture in a Parkinson’s Patient

Abstract

Speaking, chewing, and swallowing difficulties can result from Parkinson’s disease (PD), 
which frequently affects the oropharyngeal muscles. The reduction in food and hydration 
Intake that is unavoidable leads to a worsening of neurological symptoms. Patients with 
Parkinson’s disease patients experience significant challenges when adjusting to wearing an entire 
dentures. Each of these problems presents a considerable challenge for the doctor in terms of 
prosthodontic rehabilitation. This case study describes how a patient with Parkinson’s disease 
was able to employ flexible removable partial dentures supported by implants to replace both 
their full and partial set of missing teeth. A well-made prosthesis will help the patient with 
their psychological, functional, and aesthetic impairments.
