Loss of alveolar bone is a great entity after loss of natural teeth. Preservations of remaining surrounding tissues is of utmost importance. Tooth-retained overdentures are a simple and cost-effective treatment than the implant-supported overdentures. When few teeth are present which are periodontally strong, they can be used as abutments for overdenture fabrication. Roots maintained under the denture base preserve the alveolar ridge, provide sensory feedback and improve the stability of the dentures. The most common problem of mandibular complete denture is retention & stability due to excessive residual ridge resorption as compared to maxilla. So, mandibular tooth supported overdentures not only provide retention and stability to the denture but also prevents bone loss and provide proprioception. Overdenture attachments can also be used to enhance retention of mandibular complete denture. The present case report describes a technique to fabricate ball attachment retained mandibular tooth supported overdenture. |
