| Popis: | Preservation of what is remaining is the primary goal for any prosthodontic treatment plan. In elderly patients with few remaining teeth, Instead of extraction, a clinician can preserve and utilise the remaining teeth as abutments for an overdenture. The main advantages of a conventional tooth supported overdenture are the preservation of the remaining tooth structure along with its proprioception, preservation of the alveolar bone, additional support to the dentures and above all, the psychological advantage to the patient that they still have their own teeth. The concept of overdentures may not be an elixir, but it is a positive means for delaying the process of complete edentulism and helps in the preservation of bone. A step by step clinical case is presented here which describes the intricacies of tooth supported overdenture. |
