Implant retained overdenture using OT equator attachments
A case series
Keywords:
Implant Retained Overdenture, equator, low-profile, case seriesAbstract
The aim of this clinical report is to demonstrate the technique used with OT‑Equator attachment with chair side incorporation of housings in pre-fabricated denture. Implant retained overdentures are evolving as an optimum and cost-effective treatment modality for patients with edentulism and the evolution of attachments have led to their increased use. The Article Describes a Series of Cases where implant retained overdentures dentures were given to the patient using OT EQUATOR attachments to improve the retentive properties of the dentures thus elevating their chewing efficiency and also the quality of speaking and boosting the overall confidence of the patient. The treatment described in the article should be 1advocated and used wherever possible as it preserves both hard and soft tissues. The OT EQUATOR attachment is specially indicated in cases of compromised inter-arch space and where retention is of utmost priority as described in this case report. The advantage of the attachment is that it is very easy and convenient to use and also offers a chair-side fabricating process.
