You could do an implant supported partial with locators. She could then easily convert to a CUD when necessary, but again, this is an extra expense on her part.
I've been looking into the Prettau as well. Not sure what makes them different than anyone else doing these? They are pretty, but as Rick stated, and Bob Clark confirms, that these are not easily fixable in the mouth/office. Does anyone have experience with these that they would like to share?

I haven't done any Prettau, but I have talked with Jessica Burrell (Ace person!) and Bill Marais- both of who are doing them, and while they are really beautiful and slick, they are also heavy and breakable and certainly not repairable in the mouth.There are some composite materials around, as well, but you never know how they might hold up.I have been investigating this as well!RickOn Mon, Jul 29, 2013 at 8:32 AM, Dr. Tim Hale <drtimhale@gmail.com> wrote:

You're right Mac...The reason for my post was to smoke out those who dofixed hybrids, and given the cost and complications, why notjust do fixed fixed?Marc--On Mon, Jul 29, 2013 at 7:56 AM, Mchenry Lee <drmaclee@gmail.com> wrote:
Marc,Remember, the diagnosis is always the same, in this case, edentulous arch.Recommended treatment is what patient wants as end result; removable, solid fitting removable, how solid do you they want it, something that never comes out! Educate in a way they fully understand (by team member). Let patient decide (they can't argue with their own decision), what they decide is none of your business. You are there just to say it is a good treatment or not.One treatment is to blend all food.
