This article presents the advantages of design modifications and fabrication techniques for mandibular osseointegrated fixed prostheses. These design features provide definite mechanical advantages and access for oral hygiene maintenance. A review of implant surface properties is presented that affect bacterial plaque and food debris adherence. The suggested design involves a lingual contour of the cast alloy suprastructure to yield an environment for reduced plaque and debris accumulation. The right angle cross-section ensures strength and increased stress distribution in structurally compromised areas when compared with conventional implant framework designs.

D012994 Dental Soldering The joining of pieces of metal through the use of an alloy which has a lower melting point, usually at least 100 degrees Celsius below the fusion temperature of the parts being soldered. In dentistry, soldering is used for joining components of a dental appliance, as in assembling a bridge, joining metals to orthodontic bands, or adding to the bulk of certain structures, such as the establishment of proper contact areas on inlays and crowns with adjacent teeth.

D016348 Osseointegration The growth action of bone tissue as it assimilates surgically implanted devices or prostheses to be used as either replacement parts (e.g., hip) or as anchors (e.g., endosseous dental implants).

D019094 Dental Prosthesis, Implant-Supported A prosthesis that gains its support, stability, and retention from a substructure that is implanted under the soft tissues of the basal seat of the device and is in contact with bone.
