The nonresilient hybrid removable prosthesis: treatment of choice for the atrophic maxilla.
This article presents the ments of the nonresilient hybrid removable prosthesis, which is the treatment of choice for the atrophic maxilla. The technique described may be adapted to yield a predictable outcome that provides functional and biomechanical stability that are superior to a resilient over-denture, along with a cosmetic and phonetic result that often proves superior to that of the fixed prosthesis.
