title: An alternative to conventional overdenture attachments with Molloplast-B: a technique.
abstract: The use of Molloplast-B within the abutments of mandibular overdentures is an easy and inexpensive method for increasing retention and stability of dentures. The use of a retentive area prepared in natural tooth structure increases retentive capabilities for the overdenture patient. Unlike some silicone denture liners, Molloplast-B has shown an inhibitory effect to the growth of Candida albicans. Molloplast-B can be used in the conventional overdenture method or as described for an immediate overdenture. This type of overdenture can be relined easily to adjust for changes in mouth architecture. How well this material will retain its shape and consistency needs to be observed.
