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.
