Abstract:
Osseointegrated implants are often used for mandibular denture retention. Although clinical success rates are high, complications can occur. A specific clinically relevant example of a fractured bar is presented along with a procedure for its repair. This procedure allows the repair to be done in a timely and cost-efficient manner.
