Abstract: With the development of implantology, full-arch implant-supported prostheses for edentulous jaws have become important treatments. Effects of different implant-supported prostheses on residual alveolar ridge remodeling in edentulous jaws have been hot topics in recent years. Also, the difference in the remodeling pattern of edentulous residual alveolar ridge directly affects clinicians' choice of implant-supported prostheses. By reviewing previous literatures, this article reviews the changes of residual alveolar ridge after teeth extraction, as well as the effects of different implant-supported prostheses on residual alveolar ridge remodeling in edentulous jaws.

Key words: alveolar bone loss, dental implants, implant-supported dental prosthesis
