10 Dentures can be stabilized in edentulous lower jaws with the help of four dental implants. This makes poorly fitting dentures and the use of adhesive cream a thing of the past. This stabilized denture almost fully restores the chewing function while positively affecting both speech development and esthetics. There are several options for anchoring the denture. Not all these solutions are suitable for maxillary restorations. Due to the softer bone structure in the maxilla, more implants are required there to provide secure anchorage. Inserting the denture on locators is very simple. These function like press buttons, which is why the denture clicks audibly onto the implants when inserted. Telescopes or bars work on the same mechanical principle as a telescopic rod, the parts of which grip one another using slight friction thanks to precision manufacturing. This adhesive force keeps telescopic and bar dentures in the mouth. Removable solutions for fully edentulous jaws For edentulous jaws, various solutions are available to stabilize or anchor dentures. Four implants are often sufficient to stabilize the denture in position.
