Implants as the Standard of Care for Denture Wearers – McGill 2002 Consensus
On May 24-25, 2002, a Symposium was held at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec Canada during which fifteen scientists and expert clinicians discussed the efficacy of overdentures for the treatment of edentulous patients. Strong emphasis was given to evidence from randomized controlled trials in which mandibular 2-implant overdentures were compared to conventional dentures.
A draft consensus statement was circulated to all presenters, as well as to subjects who participated in some of the clinical trials and other edentulous individuals who attended the Symposium. The statement was modified during the meeting in light of their comments.
We hope that the final version of the consensus statement will serve as a guideline for clinicians and patients, and that it will stimulate discussion within and between professional organizations, health authorities and third party payers.
