Abstract

Preservation of residual alveolar bone is one of the most challenging tasks in hands of a Prosthodontist. With Preventive Prosthodontics gaining popularity, all attempts are made to preserve the natural tooth structure. Overdentures have been a commonly used treatment option that helps in preservation of bone and maintains the proprioceptive sensory impulses. The treatment option has been widely exercised with implants as implant supported overdentures as well. The treatment modality has some inherent challenges and require proper deliberation and well executed treatment plan to avoid post insertion complications and ensure longevity of prosthesis. The article showcases two cases of tooth supported overdentures, some common problems, and possible solutions.
