Using an Implant to Retain or Support a Removable Partial Denture?
Last Updated: May 02, 2010
Dr. K asks:
Is there any way that we can use an implant to retain or support a removable partial denture? I see so many cases where there are too few teeth to provide adequate retention and support for a removable partial denture. I would like to place implants and either survey crowns or attachments. My first preference would be for survey crowns. Unlike Locators or ERA’s these do not need to be replaced. I am also more accustomed to using survey crowns for removable partial dentures. I have not seen anything about this. I welcome advice.
