Lesson 1Implant-supported options: single implants, implant-retained FPDs, fixed vs removable implant overdenturesThis part details implant-based choices, like single caps, implant-held bridges, and fixed against loose overdentures, focusing on uses, shape, number and place of implants, and upkeep needs in local setups.
