Abstract
A traditional treatment approach that has had greater results is the use of attachment to provide retention for detachable prostheses. It significantly enhances patient comfort, aesthetics, functionality, and satisfaction, particularly in patients with long-term edentulism when implants and fixed partial dentures (FPD) are not recommended and cast partial dentures are barely acceptable. Many people regard an implant-retained complete lower denture as the industry benchmark for the oral rehabilitation of the edentulous mandible. It is a desirable therapeutic option due to its relative simplicity, minimal invasiveness, predictability, effectiveness, and cost. Magnets, studs, and bars are the most commonly used techniques for securing overdentures to implants. The Locator® system, a relatively new kind of stud attachment, was used to treat a patient in this case report. It discusses the use of an extracoronal semi-precision attachment to improve the retention of detachable prostheses and reconstruct the edentulous mandible and outlines a chairside method for retaining a full lower denture using the Locator® device.
