[QUOTE="JonnyLathe, post: 355097, member: 22339"] Locator bars just aren't it. They are huge and require too much prosthetic space, which is seemingly rarely accounted for surgically unless you're talking all-on-x. Bars need I believe 13mm of prosthetic space and that's still really cutting it close for the denture strength in my opinion, the other option is the patient looking gummy (they will hate this) for the sake of prosthetic space. Panthera makes something called a dolder micro bar which is much MUCH lower profile and uses little titanium riders in the denture, but they're challenging to process on. But at the end of the day if the patient wasn't treatment planned for a bar at the onset it's going to be a huge headache. [/QUOTE]
