Fabrication of CAD-CAM custom-made bar clip for implant-supported overdentures using an intraoral scanner: A dental technique

Abstract

This article describes a digital technique for fabricating individually designed overdenture bar clips. The patient was scanned intraorally using a Medit i700 scanner; the custom clip was designed using the Blender software program and milled from polyoxymethylene blocks. This low-cost technique offers more available options compared with traditional clips, improving the management of retention loss.
