Abstract :

Overdenture is a pristine treatment modality for elderly patients with few remaining teeth. The preservation of teeth to support an attachment–retained overdenture is an appropriate and preferable alternative to complete dentures. It is much simpler,cost effective and more biologic than implant overdenture. When few firm teeth still remain in a compromised dentition, preservation of these teeth for overdentures can improve retention and stability. The concept of overdentures may not be the elixir in itself, but suitable case selection,attachment selectionand adherence to basic principles of complete denture design are necessary for prevention of geriatric/denture induced sequelae.This article presents rehabilitation of a case with tooth supported mandibular overdenture by Preci–Clix attachments.
