Anon. asks:
Is there any way that I can use an implant as an abutment for a removable partial denture? Is there some protocol for using a particular attachment system like ERA or Locator to use the implant for retention of the removable partial denture? I understand that the implant does not have a PDL and has no mobility. Could I use multiple implants for abutments and use cross-arch stabilization? I have not been able to find any articles in the literature about this other than to use the implant as a distal vertical stop for a Kennedy Class I or II removable partial denture. What would be the long term result of using an implant and stress breaking attachment as an abutment?

yes you can, it eliminates clasp showing and adds stability to rpd. make sure that you place it in an area where you have future restorative options
YES YOU CAN USE THEM WITH LOCATOR ALL WILL BE OK
YES
Yes, will work fine. Also can use locators with a temporary acrylic denture for sequential full arch cases. Keeps the patients very happy.
