Implant Supported Overdenture Solutions
Implant supported overdenture solutions are relatively simple and cost-effective treatment options for many patients.
In some cases it is not necessary to construct a new prosthesis as the patient’s existing denture may be utilised. Implant supported overdentures may also be used as a provisional prosthesis.
There are three ways to retain implant supported overdentures using the Neoss system:
- Locator® Abutments
- Ball Abutments
- Bar Abutments
The use of ball abutments has traditionally been in the mandible utilising two implants.
Bar retained overdentures can either be rigid (multiple implants) or resilient (two implants) in design. Resilient designed overdentures are most commonly limited to the mandible and are implant retained and tissue borne. In the maxilla however bar retained overdentures are normally rigid in design and are implant retained and implant borne.
The Locator® Abutment is designed for use with full dentures or partial dentures retained by the Neoss Dental Implants in the maxilla or mandible. The self-locating design allows a patient to easily seat their denture.
