                | Fig. 1. The two titanium implants have been inserted, flaps have been 
                  sutured and protective caps have been positioned.

                | Fig. 3. A mixed fixed gold-platinum-porcelain denture is constructed 
                  (see Patients' Section - gold-platinum-porcelain) as well as 
                  a very special denture with precision attachments (see Patients' 
                  Section - attachments, grooves, braces and coulisses).

                | Fig. 4. Enlargement of female attachments on the fixed denture, into 
                  which the male attachments on the removable denture fit. Note 
                  the shock-absorbing hinge connected to the attachment.

                | Fig. 5. The hinge movement on the sagittal plane of the two back cols 
                  of the denture can be seen clearly.

                |  |   
                | Fig. 6. This movement, together with the shock-absorbing hinge, allows 
                  substitution of the missing back teeth with a denture having 
                  attachments on the implants. Otherwise this would be impossible.
