Abstract

Severe mandibular bone resorption may cause difficulties in using a complete denture. An implant overdenture is a feasible and economical treatment option as it can improve retention, stability, and support. A Locator attachment has used successfully. Recently, the next generation of the Locator attachment launched. The purpose of this article is to describe the fabrication of an implant overdenture with a Locator R-Tx attachment as well as its features.

심한 하악골의 흡수는 총의치 사용에 어려움을 야기한다. 임플란트 피개 의치는 유지, 안정, 지지를 향상시키면서, 덜 침습적이고 경제적인 치료법이다. 현재 Locator 부착 장치는 많은 임상가에 의해 성공적으로 사용되고 있다. Locator 부착 장치의 다음 세대인 Locator R-Tx 부착 장치가 최근에 출시되었다. 이 논문은 새로 출시된 Locator R-Tx 부착 장치를 이용하여 피개 의치를 제작하는 과정 및 Locator R-Tx 부착 장치의 특징들을 기술하였다.
