Abstract:
The distal extension fixed implant supported prosthesis is now available as an alternative to a partial denture. However, not all patients will be suitable for such treatment. Limitations imposed on fixture length, the effect of gape upon instrumentation, the size of abutment components and the design of the superstructure are discussed in this article, to assist the general practitioner in case referral.
