[QUOTE="JMN, post: 343897, member: 8469"] I like Locator over Hader. The clips are a pannini in the asterisk if there isn't exactly enough room, the edges can get bungled and sometimes become an impediment to seating. For longevity of the prosthesis, I always suggest a metal frame internal to the denture. It will never wear kut and can be retoothed, relined and completely redone without worrrying about getting the implant locations right but one time. If that's not a financialky feasible option, using a Dentarum .4mm steel grid strengthener is next best. Holes cut in it at the implant sites. Then the implants which are transferring the force break only the areas not reinforced. This allows a fracture/crack to stay mainly at the attachmsnt and repair can be handled chairside by grinding out the old acrylic and picking up the attachment all in one visit. Happy pt dance. The wire mesh is near useless in most cases. It will extend the time a crack takes to become a fracture. But when it tears the denture has to be reline or rebased to replace it. Dude then will see days without denture and higher cost. Dinnertime without your denture sucks.
