Case Studies: Replacing All the Lower Teeth - A Removable Prosthesis
 |
|
 |
| Five implants are seen peeking through the tissue. One implant is strong enough to support 2 to 3 teeth in this type of prosthesis. |
|
A connecting bar is seen sitting on top of five implants. Note the "trailer hitch balls" sitting on top of the bar. The underside of the prosthesis snaps over the balls. |
 |
|
|
| Underside of the prosthesis. "O-rings" secure this prosthesis to the connecting bar. The result is a non-slip, secure prosthesis that is removed twice daily for cleaning. |
