A comparison of mandibular denture base extension in conventional and implant-retained dentures

N S Arbree et al. J Prosthet Dent. 1991 Jan.

Abstract

A border outline for mandibular implant-retained dentures is described. The lingual extension of the impression is greatly reduced compared with a conventional mandibular denture. Because of the implant attachment, the shortened border is more comfortable and does not compromise denture retention. Improper implant position is also discussed with respect to denture extension.
