Abstract

The idea of traditional tooth-retained overdentures is cost effective and simple treatment modality than implant overdentures treatment. When a small number of firm natural teeth are present in other respects compromised dentition, these teeth can be retained and utilized as overdenture abutments teeth. This aids to enhance the stability and retention of the definitive prosthesis. The utilization of thermo-elastic acrylic resin denture base in the fabrication of mandibular overdenture leads to improvement of denture retention.
