摘要
It is not always clear that the implant-prosthesis offers distinct advantages over the conventional complete denture for managing the edentulous jaw. This article discusses the measurement; distribution, impact, and management of the edentulous jaw, and describes a framework for analyzing the economic costs and benefits associated with the conventional denture and the implant prosthesis. There are physiologic and psychosocial costs and benefits to both the conventional denture and the implant prosthesis, which indicates that neither method is distinctly superior. The physiologic costs are low and the psychosocial costs are similar for both treatments, whereas the direct financial costs associated with the implant prosthesis are substantially higher.
