ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Tooth and bone preservation is essential to support dentures, especially for elderly patients. Retaining the existing teeth and roots for an overdenture postpones edentulism, and this is a convenient alternative to complete dentures and extraction of teeth. Root-supported overdentures attach to the roots with precision attachments. The fit of the attachment of both the denture and the roots or implants is very important for overdentures. The combination of the attachments increases the retention and stability of attachment-retained overdentures. This technique describes an alternative procedure to fabricate root-supported overdentures with combined locator and casted telescopic attachments.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN La preservación de los dientes y los huesos es esencial para apoyar las dentaduras postizas, especialmente para pacientes de edad avanzada. Retener los dientes y raíces existentes para una sobredentadura aplaza el edentulismo, y constituye una alternativa conveniente para completar las dentaduras postizas y la extracción de dientes. Las sobredentaduras apoyadas en la raíz se unen a las raíces con aditamentos de precisión. El ajuste del aditamento tanto de la dentadura como de las raíces o implantes es muy importante para las sobredentaduras. La combinación de los aditamentos aumenta la retención y la estabilidad de las sobredentaduras retenidas por aditamento. Esta técnica describe un procedimiento alternativo para fabricar sobredentaduras ancladas en la raíz con un localizador combinado y aditamentos telescópicos fundidos.
