[The application of an overdenture with a modified Dolder bar joint].
In this article, a modified Dolder bar attachment application is presented in two cases. The egg-shaped bars are casted in chromium-cobalt metal alloy and the retention loops are made of clasp wire in "omega" shape. The bar attachment has some advantages like being easy to fabricate and having lower cost. The laboratory made modified Dolder bar attachment we used with overdentures provided additional retention for the dentures, minimized the horizontal and vertical movements of the dentures and also strengthened the abutment teeth by splinting. As a conclusion we have tried to show that this attachment can be an alternative to use with overdentures.
