Chairside method for incorporating metal O-ring attachment in mandibular implant-retained overdenture.
Use of an implant-retained overdenture for the mandible is associated with a high success rate. After osseointegration, connecting the implants to the lower denture is an important step in achieving successful treatment. Different methods and attachment systems described in the literature may require a high level of laboratory support. This article describes a chairside method for connecting the O-ring attachment to the implant-retained mandibular denture.
