Abstract

Objective: To describe the Horizontal Denture®, a new implantsupported prosthetic alternative for edentulous patients with atrophied edentulous maxillae, designed to combine the advantages of conventional removable overdentures and hybrid fixed prostheses. Development: The Horizontal Denture® is an implant- supported removable horizontal slide-in prosthesis. The overdenture superstructure slides horizontally in antero-posterior direction onto an implant-supported primary structure and is retained by friction. Conclusions: This technique allowed, like conventional overdentures, camouflage of the fixing screw access holes and a good hygiene, while providing a biomechanical behavior equivalent to a fixed prosthesis.
