Fabrication of a single-appointment emergency overdenture using failed fixed prosthetics: a case report

Implant Dent. 2000;9(2):183-7. doi: 10.1097/00008505-200009020-00013.

Abstract

A single appointment fabrication of an emergency overdenture is described. The technique was used in the treatment of a failed implant-supported fixed bridge that was unable to be reinserted due to fractured components and a lack of passive fit. This technique may also be used for the treatment of a failing natural dentition as well as an implant prosthesis.
