title: Slant-lock implant-supported overdenture.
abstract: Slant-Lock overdentures, Class I: Division 3 prostheses, provide a stable and retentive prosthetic design for edentulous patients with osseointegrated implants. In patients who have moderate to severe atrophy of the edentulous ridge, the Slant-Lock overdenture provides additional support for the para-oral structures. The prostheses increase the ease of oral hygiene for the edentulous patient, can be constructed using conventional prosthodontic techniques, and are reasonably economical.
