Edentulism is frequently observed in older individuals, and edentulous patients with conventional prostheses have reported lack of retention, support, stability, and chewing and phonation failures. Overdentures are a good option for rehabilitation of edentulous patients. Two or more implants supporting a milled bar with attachments may be used for rehabilitation of these patients, since this arrangement allows very limited rotation and vertical movement, thereby increasing patient satisfaction.
