An implant-supported hybrid prosthesis is a viable option for the rehabilitation of completely edentulous patients with resorbed alveolar ridges. 1 It incorporates the features of both removable and fixed prostheses and restores lip support, compensates for oral soft tissue defects, and is functionally and psychologically beneficial for the patient. This type of prosthesis usually consists of a framework and a veneering material. 2 Conventionally, the framework has been fabricated using titanium, nonprecious or precious metals, or zirconia.
