Tooth Supported–Conventional Overdentures:Two Case Reports
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Rehabilitating the completely edentulous patients poses many challenges in the prosthetic dentistry. Providing them with the conventional denture prosthesis is the standard treatment protocol. But the major drawback of this treatment protocol is that the patients generally face difficulty in adapting to the denture prosthesis such as difficulty while mastication, looseness of the denture prosthesis, unstable while speech. To overcome this, tooth supported conventional denture prosthesis has evolved as treatment plan which showed acceptable clinical results and the patient satisfaction was better than as compared to the conventional complete denture prosthesis. Due to the tooth supported denture prosthesis there was reduction in the bone resorption process, stable prosthesis, the esthetics and occlusal functions such as mastication and speech. In this case we shall be discussing two case reports one with mandibular tooth supported over denture prosthesis other one with maxillary tooth supported overdenture prosthesis.
