title: [Complete overdenture retained with implants and bar-clip attachments].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To sum up and evaluate the applied experience and applied effects of implants and bar-clip attachments in complete overdenture.
  
  
  METHODS
  Bar-clip attachments were used as a super structure of implant to manufacture complete overdenture in three designs: mucosa, implant-mucosa, and implant supporting way. The retentive force of the overdenture was measured with measuring instrument of retentive force of prosthesis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All three designs could obtain good retentive effect, specially implant-mucosa supporting and implant supporting designs, which were of more better stability and supporting effect; 2-3 nelon clips could supply 10-15 N retentive force to the overdenture.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The complete overdenture retained with implant and bar-clips attachments is a very effective way for restoration of endtulous patients, which should be applied more popularly.
