title: Use of the final denture base for the intermaxillary registration in an implant-supported overdenture: technical note.
abstract: A method of implant-retained overdenture treatment based on the early use of the final denture base during registration of the maxillomandibular jaw relation is described. Using this stable denture base, an accurate recording of jaw relation and an adequate try-in procedure are facilitated without displacement of the base, especially in the situation of an unfavorable flat edentulous mandibular residual ridge.
