Overdentures
We hear lots of stuff described as an Overdenture, but what we consider an Overdenture is and implant supported bar with a denture over it. Most Overdentures are attached to the bar with friction and different types of attachments. Below are two different Overdenture set ups that we had the bars milled out of Titanium and tapped for screw in attachments.
The first set of pictures we used a Hader Bar design for the connections spans between the implants. This allows us to use a Hader Clip in the anterior middle of the bar. The bar was also tapped for OD ERAs at the distal extensions.

The second set of pictures below, we had a bar mill from Titanium 1.5mm off of the tissue with a 5 degree tapper. We also had the bar tapped for Zest Locators, so we were able to screw in 4 Locator attachments. Of course we are not limited to these attachments, but these two different attachment set ups are the most popular at the moment.
