Hybrid ProsthesisFixed-Removable Full-Arch Solution
- A hybrid prosthesis is a screw-retained full-arch restoration that combines a metal framework with acrylic teeth and gumwork.
It's the traditional "fixed-removable" option - fixed for the patient (screwed to implants) but removable by the dentist for maintenance.
