Abstract

Dentists in their day to day practice come across many edentulous patients with atrophic ridges. Complete removable maxillary and mandibular denture has been the classical treatment for replacement of teeth. But, it poses the drawbacks of compromised retention and stability. To overcome this, implant – supported overdentures are gaining popularity among the clinicians as a cost – effective treatment modality with good retention and stability in resorbed residual ridge cases. This article depicts step by step procedure for rehabilitation of an atrophic mandibular with dual retentive locator attachment which has added advantages over other attachment systems.
