Maxillary fixed hybrid denture.
The milled bar is screwed into place and the four to six implant prosthesis the intaglio of the denture is shaped to the bar.
Over the span of many years occlusal surfaces of the denture teeth in the mandibular prostheses exhibited signs of occlusal abrasion and wear sometimes completely abrading the teeth.

Unilaterally balanced occlusion was used.
Denture teeth were used in both prostheses.
Success or failure is in our hands.
A hybrid denture solves this problem by replacing the gum tissue with pink acrylic between the teeth to allow the teeth to be of normal size and appearance.
