[QUOTE="Toni Toscano, post: 306737, member: 20070"] I do really like this idea. I will have to research this further. Its the least invasive to serve the purpose that the family is wishing for. I spoke with a different not involved doctor about this. He's such a good guy. Any ways he brought up a good point. With pt's deteriorating Parkinson's = rarely closing his mouth =dry mouth with even less retention regardless of ridge. So I definitely don't think suction cup will work. (>Our idea was suction cup.. This is more a recap to my original thoughts in the post) And about the implants. So heres the deal. Originally when he was lucid pt had four abutments placed for an upper anterior bridge. Remaining naturals in place. I don't know his history but I imagine he's been in a home for a while and I'm not sure how much daily dental care he recieved. So he lost the rest of his teeth. They removed the bridge and left the abutments as is. I'm strictly a removable tech so pardon my mistranslated Terminology about this. So what he has aren't meant to be with dentures. Probably being left alone at this point because removal=ie surgery could be the cause of a worsened state (inevitable but for dental to be the cause would be an issue with Dr id presume) so the family won't have any adjustments made as far as being locators or screw retained. There may be more of an option. I've heard also maybe they will try cementing the denture to the bridge abutments. I have no idea this is why I'm wondering... Are there materials or things Parkinson's patients need to avoid? If we can find more out about the magnets.. I wonder if this would have any effect on his disease. Hmm I digress Thanks for everyones input. Ill update with the success rate of different treatments [/QUOTE]
