A double casting technique to minimize distortion when constructing fixed partial dentures on implants.

Abstract

The casting of extensive implant superstructures that have a good passive fit may be technically demanding. A simple, 2-stage casting technique is presented that avoids common problems associated with the casting of large superstructures. The fabrication of a 7-unit metal-ceramic screw-retained fixed partial denture supported by 5 implants is used to illustrate this technique.

O-ring attachments for transitional implant-retained overdentures.

The lack of proper stability and retention is frequently found in mandibular complete dentures. The stability and retention of existing complete dentures may be improved by using transitional implants (TIs) incorporating the O-ring retention system. This article describes the procedures used to convert an existing conventional complete denture to a TI-retained complete overdenture with O-ring.
