The Nonresilient Hybrid Removable Prosthesis: Treatment of Choice for the Atrophic Maxilla

This article presents the merits of the nonresilient hybrid removable prosthesis,which is the treatment of choice for the atrophic maxilla. The technique described may be adapted to yield a predictable outcome that provides functional and biomechanical stability that are superior to a resilient overdenture, along with a cosmetic and phonetic result that often proves superior to that of the fixed prosthesis.
