Abstract
Abstract This case series elaborates on tooth-supported overdenture for prosthetic rehabilitation as a treatment modality in partially edentulous patients. Loss of teeth causes continuous ridge resorption and poor denture foundation affecting the success of prosthesis. Retained natural teeth act as abutments for prosthetic rehabilitation of partial edentulous arches. Tooth-supported overdenture is the mainstay of preventive prosthodontics which preserves natural teeth and/or roots. The cases describe the use of tooth-supported complete overdenture and removable partial overdenture with metal denture base to rehabilitate partially edentulous arches. The natural teeth maintain proprioception and provide additional support, stability, retention, and psychological benefit to the patient than the conventional complete denture with completely edentulous ridges.
