An overdenture bar includes a U-shaped support beam configured to being coupled to a plurality of dental implants and extending generally above the mucus membrane of the gums. The U-shaped support beam has an anterior region and a pair of posterior extensions. At least one portion of the U-shaped support beam includes a plurality of retention elements extending generally normal to an outer surface of the U-shaped support beam in a plurality of directions. A method for producing a dental bar model on a CAD/CAM program to be fitted on a patient's upper or lower gingival surface includes the steps of selecting a longitudinal portion of the bar, adding protrusions to an upper portion of the bar and/or positioning a buccal finish line and a lingual finish between two boundary lines. The boundary lines illustrate the highest and lowest position of the finish lines.

Methods systems, computer-readable media, techniques and processes for crown or prosthesis manipulation in dental prosthesis design include presenting a 3D model of a multi-tooth prosthesis relative to an area to be reconstructed. An operator may manipulate one or more prosthetic teeth in that 3D model in order to alter the overall shape of the prosthesis. The techniques may also include the determination of occlusion with respect to antagonist teeth&#x2014;of the entire 3D model of the prosthesis and/or of individual 3D models of prosthetic teeth in the model. The position or shape of the 3D model of the prosthesis may be modified based on the occlusion.
