Method and system for fixing removable dentures

A removable denture system comprising:

• a personalized support beam in a form of a lower bar fixedly attached to an individual's alveolar ridge above the mucous membrane by a plurality of dental implants;
• a personalized denture conforming with the dental parameters of the individual and having fixedly integrated within a surface thereof a super-structure having a flat lower surface along the entire length thereof and being made of metal, said flat lower surface shaped in conformation with the lower bar, wherein the lower surface of the super-structure bears in substantially full surface contact over the top surface of the lower bar;
• and a denture locking arrangement for articulating the denture to the lower bar preventing unintentional disengagement of the denture and allowing its removal by the individual, wherein:
• the locking arrangement comprises one or more locking members, each disposed laterally or medially to an individual's tongue, the locking member or members comprise a housing fixed within a laterally extending bore and slidingly accommodating a locking pin axially retractable between a first position in which a head thereof is substantially flush with an inner surface of the denture and an opposite end thereof is arrested by a corresponding locking portion of the lower bar, and a second position wherein said head is extracted and the opposite end is disengaged from the locking portion of the lower bar to facilitate removal of the denture;
• said locking pin being snappingly arrested at respective positions of said first position and said second position.

• and wherein a narrow bore is formed at the front face of the denture through which an aid may be applied to assist in retraction of the locking pin.
