Reinforcement of Single Implant‐Retained Mandibular Overdenture with a Cobalt‐Chromium Framework before Implant Surgery

Previous clinical research has shown promising results in oral rehabilitation of elderly adults by a single implant‐retained mandibular overdenture; however, the high incidence of fracture in the anterior region of these overdentures is a concern for clinicians. To minimize catastrophic overdenture fracture, we propose a technique to insert an individualized metal framework in single implant‐retained overdentures prior to implant surgery.
