Abstract:
An implant-retained overdenture retained with 2 implants placed in the anterior edentulous mandible is a simple and predictable treatment option. The fabrication and use of this prosthesis requires satisfactory interarch space for adequate denture base thickness and esthetics. This clinical report describes the use of low-profile attachments for this overdenture design to solve the problem of limited interarch space.
