Coffee Straw can Replace Hader Bar for Bar Retained Overdentures – A Clinical Report.

Abstract - Bar attachment system provides retention and support for the overdenture. Retention of a mandibular denture can be achieved by an implant-retained or natural tooth-retained bar and stud attachment in the anterior segment of the mandible. A simple and cost effective treatment for more complex implant overdenture is the concept of conventional tooth-retained overdentures. The authors present a clinical report of a patient treated with a mandibular tooth-borne overdenture with a bar. The bar was fabricated using a coffee straw.

KEY WORDS: Overdentures, bar designs.
