Abstract
A facial prosthesis can be retained by bone-anchored implants and by a
retentive bar. Because tissue response is critical around the abutmen
ts, the retentive bar should be constructed so that it is comfortable,
conveniently hygienic, and designed without compromising the contours
of the prosthesis.
