Conventional Overdenture Technique:An Evergreen Prosthodontic Treatment Solution for edentulous patients: A Case Report

Preservation of alveolar bone is the main aim of conventional tooth-retained overdenture. In the past when patients reported for a denture with teeth that were badly broken down with periodontal involvement or due to large carious lesions, those teeth were extracted that could have been retained under more favourable conditions. Retention of the roots of one or more teeth for overdenture offers the patient a lot of advantages like better stability, proprioception, support among a few. The following case report focuses on the merits of using selectively retained roots and abutments to minimize alveolar ridge resorption below the complete dentures.
