Overdenture treatment in patient with severely worn dentition: a case report

ABSTRACT

Overdenture is one of the methods of patients with severely worn dentition. Remaining natural teeth help preserve alveolar bone and proprioception and provide rigid support. Also, overdenture distributes the concentrated stress applied to the abutment tooth and denture supporting tissues. There is an advantage that it can provide long-term stability to denture. In this case, the patient with only a few teeth due to severe wear and caries was satisfied with good function and favorable esthetics by using overdenture.
