- Abstract
The article presents an alternative approach to implant-retained maxillary overdentures. Among the designs for implant-supported overdentures are bar attachments, milled detachable prostheses with locking attachments, telescopic prostheses, and precision spark-erosion technology. An alternative approach involves prosthetic restoration of the edentulous maxilla with osseointegrated implants and a telescopic detachable prosthesis through the use of Galvano copings. The utilization of basic parallel-milling techniques and electroforming allowed the fabrication of a prosthesis with retention and some moving parts.
