Abstract
-
A successful prosthesis is difficult to produce without using the implants in the severely resorbed alveolar ridges and maxillofacial defects.
This report describes clinical experience of the overdenture using O-ring attachment. Clinical results have revealed successful application for the O-ring attachment in the two edentulous patients and a partial maxillectomy patient.
