Abstract
The loss of all of the teeth is a life-changing event that brings functional challenges.

The treatment options for edentulous patients range from conventional complete dentures to fixed implant-supported restorations of varying complexities. This course will review indications and contraindications for treatment options of the fully edentulous patient.
