Abstract
The lack of proper stability and retention is frequently found in mandibular complete dentures. The stability and retention of existing complete dentures may be improved by using transitional implants (TIs) incorporating the O-ring retention system. This article describes the procedures used to convert an existing conventional complete denture to a TI-retained complete overdenture with O-ring.Mesh:
