Comparing two ways to secure upper dentures with implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of attaching an upper denture to dental implants: one using a metal bar and one using small attachments called locators. If you have trouble with your upper denture staying in place, this trial may help you find a better fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
