Unleashing the potential of mandibular tooth supported overdenture to enhance stability and support – A case report

Abstract

Treating patients using tooth supported overdentures can help in preservation of the remaining natural teeth which can provide psychological, functional and anatomical benefits. Retaining roots can provide preserving proprioceptive receptors and increase the stability of dentures, hence it is the favoured treatment for elderly patients with a few remaining teeth. This case report describes a tooth supported mandibular denture retained using a custom made coping to enhance the retention of the prosthesis.
