Abstrakt: The fabrication of a maxillary overdenture supported and retained by custom waxed and cast locator attachments will be described. These angulated abutments were made necessary by a lack of maxillary bone due to advanced periodontal problems that contributed to the loss of all of the maxillary and mandibular teeth; thus, the maxillary anterior implants were placed in a labially or facially inclined position, which necessitated placement of labially inclined implant bodies. This article describes a method for correcting this angulation to create a more vertical path of placement and to allow the facially inclined implants to be used for an overdenture retentive device.
