Abstract

Dental implants have been mainly advocated for usage among edentulous subjects owing to better stability and retention of dentures, improved functioning, and quality of life. In epilepsy, the brain or some parts of the brain are overactive and send too many signals. This results in seizures, also referred to as epileptic fits. Seizures sometimes only cause a few muscles to twitch – but they may also cause your whole body to convulse. Treatment in such patients is always a challenging job., hence; we have reported the case of 44 year old female epileptic patient who underwent prosthetic rehabilitation for missing tooth by dental implants.
