| | Prothese nach dem "High Water" Design | Explanation:
"High-water" refers to the **design***, not to the water content ;))
"Restoring a fully edentulous mandible or maxilla utilizing a high-water design, cantilevered restoration. His indications, based on over ten years of research, were that with four to six implants placed in either the anterior mandible or the anterior maxilla, it would be possible to predictably restore that arch with a long term restoration."

Man kann sich das in etwa wie eine Art Brücke vorstellen, die hoch über den einzelnen Implantaten stehend(über Hochwasser eben) errichtet wird. Leider habe ich keine deutsche Entsprechung gefunden. Notfalls würde ich "High Water" design schreiben. |

Explanation:
I don't have a translation because I couldn't find anything online, but from this description it appears that it has nothing to do with the water content of the prosthesis.

Once the IME's have been used to help splint natural teeth and implants together these screw systems make it virtually impossible to create patient removable prosthetics. This limitation creates problems associated with ridge lapping and is why posteriorally some create "high water" designed prostheses for periodontal access.
Keeping the screw retained bridgework clean and plaque free is problematic. M. L. Perel, Interview With H. I. Bader: How To Motivate, Inform Dental Implant Patients On Home Care, 4 Dental Implantology Update 57-60 (No. 7, 1993). These appliances are designed either with (1) a ridge lap configuration, (2) open embrasures or less frequently as (3) a high water design. All these designs have limitations: The high water design, for example, where none of the appliance touches the tissue except the abutment sleeves, causes problems with speech articulation and phonetics (especially fricative and sibilant sounds) as air passes readily under the appliance. Aesthetically, this space is not very appealing.
