Smart1 Implant Bar Overdentures

Evaluation of the clearance is one of the essential factors determining if a Smart1 implant Bar overdenture is best suited for a specific patient. This step is also critical in deciding surgical options. To ensure the correct treatment options, the following information should be provided to Burbank Dental Lab:

• Provide Bite Blocks that mimic the thickness required for the final prosthesis. If not opening the vertical, a duplicate of the existing denture should be sent.
• Do a wax-up try-in complete with teeth set-up.
• Take measurements of the wax-up
• Record the thickness of the position where the implants should be placed
• Measure at least two posterior markers on both the left and right sides.
• Measure at least two anterior markers.
• Measure from the center of the proposed implant to the buccal and lingual of the wax set-up.
• Measure the occlusal area from the implant to the occlusal of the opposing.

It is also essential to consider the surgical options and present these to the patient when vertical space is limited. These should be considered if the vertical cannot be opened to provide the space needed for a successful prosthetic. These options may include bone reduction, sinus lifts, or bone grafting, etc.
