title: A simple, predictable intraoral technique for retentive mechanism attachment of implant overdenture attachments.
abstract: A technique is presented for intraorally attaching two O-ring attachments to a mandibular complete denture. The technique involves fabricating and placing a mandibular denture with conventional procedures. Patients adapt initially to the complete denture. The attachments are then attached to the denture base with autopolymerizing acrylic resin. This technique provides a predictable method to achieve a tissue-supported and implant-retained overdenture.
