The use of implants to improve retention of removable prostheses has demonstrated success for many patients. Clinicians have found that conversion from conventional, nonimplant-retained appliances to implant-retained overdentures typically results in better function, retention, and overall satisfaction.
Cad/Cam restorations are the future of restorative dentistry and Dentamil is leading the way with our precision custom milled bars.
There are two type implant bars:
A. Attached overdenture bar
Milled bar from Titanium or Cobalt Chrome. This bar will follow the curve of your jaw and is attached to 2-5 dental implants that have been placed directly into your jawbone. This restoration can be designed on implant bars or straight to the implant using attachments, or locators. Implant/removable restorations are designed to be removable by the patient for hygiene and provide proper lip support. Bars are fabricated using CAD/CAM system, matching the implant system used by the surgeon.
B. Screw retained hybrid (SRH)
Milled bar from Titanium and Cobalt is screw-retained into a series of 4 to 6 or more implants. In some cases as few as 2 implants can be used, although this is less effective than using a greater numbers of implants. This type of bars is only removable by the clinician. It is a combination restoration using acrylic teeth and processing it to a titanium CAD/CAM designed frame. With high accuracy and superb fit, these restorations are a very affordable option for the patient and give them the esthetics and comfort of their own dentition.
Milled implant bar advantages
- Precision milled implant solution
- Milled bar is a one piece milled titanium alloy structure with a passive fit, this eliminates the potential for weakness that may be caused by soldering or laser welded joints
- Fixed-retrievable restorative option
- Great aesthetic result
- Dentures based on implants are more stable than conventional dentures and easily repaired.
