title: Stabilized record bases for implant-retained overdentures.
abstract: A procedure is described that uses elastomeric impression material to retain and stabilize overdenture record bases without the use of costly overdenture components. The retentive record base simplifies the registration of jaw relations and the analysis of esthetics and phonetics at the wax try-in stage by minimizing potential record base movement.
