Can an implant-supported bridge support an overdenture?

The bridge acts as an anchor for the overdenture. Bar constructions offer maximum stability for lower dentures. Ball attachments are easier to clean but offer less retention. Locator systems allow different paths of insertion. This hybrid approach reduces denture movement by 60-70%. Removing the denture at night gives the implants a rest. Maintenance includes lubricating the attachments and replacing the rubber rings. Suitable for patients who want to invest gradually in fixed solutions. Cost saving compared with a full fixed reconstruction: 40-50%.
