Abstract
Prosthetic treatment with overdenture is a favoured treatment modality for elderly patients with few remaining teeth and roots that are maintained under the denture base to preserve the residual ridge. The tooth supported overdenture provides the patient with a greater stability of the denture and improved masticatory function and esthetics. Retaining natural teeth as abutments for dentures can considerably reduce the progress of residual ridge resorption. Multiple abutments can be used to retain proprioception and prevent further bone resorption. This clinical report describes two cases that were successfully rehabilitated with tooth supported overdentures with high retention and esthetics.
