Abstract
Implant supported Over dentures are prescribed in order to enhance retention, support and stability. Over
denture is the treatment of choice when lip or facial support is required. Implant supported over dentures have been found
to be very useful prosthodontic treatment modality. A number of case reports suggest the use of customized implant
abutments in order to enhance esthetics as well as to rehabilitate excessively angulated implant fixtures. Several studies
have indicated the use of stress breaking as well as soft relining material which would have a protective effect on
perimplant tissue. This article will throw a light on the use of customized implant abutments as well as soft relining
material in an maxillary implant supported over denture.
