Abstract

The complete mandibular prosthesis constitutes a challenge for the practitioner. Unfavorable anatomo-physiological factors, including the small bearing surface and the extent of resorption, often compromise prosthetic retention. The exploitation of residual roots as a support for the conjunction bar constitutes an excellent additional mechanical means of retention. This prosthetic alternative considerably improves the comfort and masticatory coefficient of the patient on condition that the imperatives of root conservation as well as the clinical and laboratory implementation techniques are respected.
