Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Full mouth rehabilitation always need a careful attention and meticulous treatment planning. Successful restoration of the dentition requires plenty of contemporary and conventional treatment techniques. Tooth supported overdenture and attachment retained partial dentures are one such kind of treatment modality in prosthodontics. Devan stated that "perpetual preservation of what remains is more important than the meticulous replacement of what is missing". So, inspite of rapid development of implant dentistry preservation of teeth that are present is more important. Precision attachments have advantage of additional retention and also help to obtain parallelism on non-parallel attachments while tooth supported over-dentures offers a lot of advantages like better retention, stability, proprioception, support to the patient. This clinical report describes the prosthodontic management of a patient with few remaining natural teeth by using tooth supported maxillary over-denture and bilateral precision attachment retained mandibular partial denture.
