Abstract

For fully edentulous patients, implant-supported overdenture can be considered to enhance chewing efficiency and denture stability. Implant planning software can be used to fabricate a surgical guide for a more precise consideration of anatomic factors and prediction of the shape of definitive prosthesis. Though there are many possible attachments for implant overdenture, milled bar can be useful due to its splinting effect of implants and rigid support of overdenture. This report presents a case of implant-supported milled bar overdenture after guided implant surgery performed with two surgical guide that was fabricated before and after bone reduction.
