Preventing a prosthodontic situation is subjective in nature and different views exist, but the principle remains same. Periodontal evaluation before commencing treatment and during follow up cannot be undermined by any means. The use of overdenture allows an individual to retain the ischolar_mains of natural teeth, which by any mean are the best option to preserve the residual alveolar ridge. We present a case of an elderly patient who presented with supraerupted and rotated maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. Four maxillary and three mandibular anterior teeth were retained and after endodontic treatment of each, a dowel post with the ball attachment was customized to fit the ‘O’ ring placed within each denture.

Abstract


Preventing a prosthodontic situation is subjective in nature and different views exist, but the principle remains same. Periodontal evaluation before commencing treatment and during follow up cannot be undermined by any means. The use of overdenture allows an individual to retain the ischolar_mains of natural teeth, which by any mean are the best option to preserve the residual alveolar ridge. We present a case of an elderly patient who presented with supraerupted and rotated maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. Four maxillary and three mandibular anterior teeth were retained and after endodontic treatment of each, a dowel post with the ball attachment was customized to fit the ‘O’ ring placed within each denture.
