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

  34. What if the Patient Can Flip Up the 2-implant Locator Overdenture with the Tongue? • Make a depression in the Lingual Flange midway between the border and the teeth for the tongue to rest in. • Increase Retention – The ‘clear’ Locator males are 5 lbs retention apiece. • Place acrylic button in anterior as a tongue distraction. • Add more implants and Locators.
