The ideal Overdenture Attachment should have all of the following attributes:

Easy to maintain and change

Inexpensive

Low Profile

Small Diameter to accommodate narrow ridges

Easy, Guided insertion

Retentive yet easy to disengage for removal

Wear Resistant

Resilient

Pictured at the left is a locator abutment on a standard external hex implant. Note that the retention for this attachment is both internal and external.

The metal retentive cap which will be picked up in the Overdenture incorporates the plastic retentive element. Because of the design, there is little chance of locking onto the abutment when picking up the attachment.
