Q.
I have implant supported dentures top and bottom which are fitted with butt abutments. I have a huge problem with the upper dentures iast my palette does not tolerate the grip. My mouth burns and my saliva is sticky. If dentures are not fully located then I don\’t have a problem. Are other abutments available to stop the denture gripping or touching the palette? If so, would this also involve having new dentures made to accommodate the new abutments?,
