Maxillary Support of Overdenture
Last Updated: Sep 25, 2006
Dr. Sanders asks,
What is the current protocol for maxillary support and retention of an overdenture, assuming four fixtures are to be used?
Are Locator abutments adequate or do the dental implant fixtures need to be
connected with a bar? I have concerns that the longevity of the
dental implants may be compromised if they are not connected. Have there been
any studies regarding these issues?
