Root-supported overdentures are an alternative to extractions and complete dentures. Chewing efficiency with a ischolar_main-supported overdenture is higher in patients who previously wore a complete denture. This increases in function, retention, and stability leads to better esthetics and phonetics in denture wearers, thereby elevating patient's self-esteem. This article demonstrates a technique of fabrication of ischolar_main supported overdenture, using Locator attachments (Zest Anchors, Inc.) to provide retention and stability and resistance to denture displacement. Locators can be used to attach to ischolar_mains with or without a coping in a direct or indirect technique. Retaining the existing teeth also preserves the alveolar bone and increases both proprioception and masticatory performance.Keywords
