This was a very positive step forward for the patient how- ever she was still experiencing some difficulty retaining her new teeth, especially the lower set. After a lengthy discussion about her options, she opted to proceed with implant supported over dentures. This traditionally constitutes a minimum of four implants in the maxilla and two in the mandible. This option would also allow me to uncover the pa- tient’s palate and increase her taste and temperature perception. Four Conelog® Implants were placed in the maxilla and two in the mandible. Even distribution of the maxillary implants is essential to ensure adequate retention and the distribution of occlusal forces. After a healing period of three months the implants were uncov- ered and Locator Attachments (Zest Anchors) were torqued on. This was followed by con- struction of a new set of implant retained overdentures. DT
