INDICATIONS / CONTRAINDICATIONS
Implant overdentures are indicated when patients desire a more stable prosthesis that improves retention, function and speech. The Locator Implant Overdenture is indicated when there is an adequate ridge and the prosthesis will be primarily tissue-borne with the implants providing retention and there are at least 4 implants in place. Locator™ implant overdentures are most common in the mandible. The CAD/CAM Ti Bar Overdenture distributes occlusal loads more evenly across all implants; indicated for patients with a heavy bite and when the implants have been placed in softer bone. In this case, the prosthesis is tissue and implant-borne.
