Fabrication of a maxillary implant-supported overdenture retained by two cemented bars: a clinical report.

Parallel placement of 2 separate bars may be indicated in patients where bone is available in the posterior part of the maxilla. Bars and stud attachments are the primary attachment systems compatible with the majority of the implant systems currently available; however, treatment planning in certain situations may be challenging due to the component available with the implant system used. This report describes the fabrication of a cemented bar design for use in situations when the components of the implant system are inadequate for fabrication of a screw-retained bar.
