Abstract
ABSTRACTThe lack of retention in complete dentures is a common complaint. The incorporation of the tooth supported overdenture in prosthodontics offers improvements related to patient satisfaction and masticatory capacity compared to the conventional complete denture. Retention of the roots of one or more teeth for overdenture offers the patient a lot of advantages like better stability, proprioception and support among a few. When rehabilitation with a fixed/removable implant- supported prosthesis is not a possible option due to medical contraindication or financial constraints, a tooth supported over denture retained and stabilized with attachment can be proposed as a reliable and cost effective treatment for denture patients. This article presents a clinical report where the O-ring attachment along with bar is used to aid in retention and stability of a maxillary tooth supported overdenture.How to cite this articleYadav B, Guttal SS.
