Hybrid dentures are proven replacements for removable prosthesis worn by edentulous patients. Using precise CAD/CAM technology to mill the implant bar, acrylic teeth are processed to fit the custom bar and attached via abutment screws. This implant overdenture derives its support from a combination of intraoral tissues and dental implants.

An implant-retained overdenture is removable and can be designed for complete or partially edentulous patients. Design factors to consider are arch form, number of implants, placement, and vertical dimension.
