Abstract

Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the changes in mandibular bone structure in edentulous patients who were rehabilitated with conventional complete dentures (CCD) and implant supported overdentures (ISO), by evaluating alveolar bone loss (ABL), panoramic mandibular index (PMI), mandibular cortical width (MCW), gonion index (GI), antegonial index (AI), and articular eminence inclination (AEI).
