title: The nonresilient hybrid removable prosthesis: treatment of choice for the atrophic maxilla.
abstract: 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.
