  • Title: Metal-reinforced single implant mandibular overdenture retained by an attachment: a clinical report.
    Author: Grageda E, Rieck B.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2014 Jan; 111(1):16-9. PubMed ID: 24199604.
    Abstract:
    Results of studies have shown that a single implant mandibular overdenture significantly increases the satisfaction and quality of life of patients with edentulism. The single implant-retained overdenture has the additional advantage of being less expensive and invasive than a 2-implant supported overdenture but has a high incidence of fracture of the acrylic resin base at the point of the implant. The treatment, design, and fabrication of a metal-reinforced single-implant mandibular overdenture with the Locator attachment as a retention device is described.
