Denture Splints

An acrylic/metal splint can be fabricated and cemented to MTI Transitional Implants
Posted: May 22, 2002

An acrylic/metal splint can be fabricated and cemented to MTI Transitional Implants [Dentatus USA] to stabilize a maxillary or mandibular full denture. The patient’s denture is retrofitted using a soft reline material. Utilizing transitional implants will also slow down the bone resorption of the ridge. Consultant, G.L. Johnson states in Contemporary Esthetics that this concept is “a truly creative strategy for ‘jump starting’ the implant aspect of a practice. The idea of offering patients a trial run of what it would be like to have a stable denture is intriguingly innovative.” The MTI transitional implants can be routinely used to provide a provisional restoration at the time of implant surgery so the patient is never without teeth, and the patient can master their oral hygiene techniques before receiving the final prosthesis.
