with the Tongue?1. Realize that there are ONLY 2 points of
retention – the tongue most likely will always be able to lift it up.
2. Lingual flange extension – too short and the tongue finds it easily.
3. Lingual flange extension – too long and any tongue movement will lift it.
4. Thin the border of the Lingual Flange
What if the Patient Can Flip Up the 2-implant Locator Overdenture
