ATTACHMENT RETAINED OVERDENTURE

Abstract

Introduction: Prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with few teeth remaining is challenging. Any conservative treatment that can delay or eliminate future prosthodontic problems should be considered. Hence the canines should be preserved so that there will be some amount of proprioception present and reduced bone loss. Material and Method: There were five patients, these patients were first given root supported overdenture and then given root supported attachment retained overdenture. These were rehabilitated using Stud attachments in mandibular bilateral canine region. Conclusion: Due to various reasons the use of the attachment retained overdenture is advantageous and hence it should be used.
