title: Converting an implant-supported fixed prosthesis to an overdenture because of fixture loss: a case report.
abstract: A patient with a failed implant-supported prosthesis was treated with an immediate interim overdenture. After insertion of a bar modified from the prosthesis substructure, the patient was restored with an implant-supported overdenture. A bar soft liner retention system was used to aid retention and stability of the overdenture.
