Mandibular two-implant-retained overdenture: prosthetic design and fabrication protocol.

摘要: Among different treatment options, an implant-retained overdenture is a simple, cost-effective solution in the rehabilitation of edentulous mandible. Despite widespread acceptance this treatment, some controversies still exist with regard to design overdenture, selection appropriate attachment system, and most optimal techniques for fabrication. In article, authors describe mandibular retained by 2 freestanding implants placed anterior region The includes metal-reinforcing framework uses prefabricated stock abutments hinge-type resilient attachments its retention. proposed fabrication technique requires minimal number clinical appointments, are incorporated into laboratory.
