📝Abstract

Loss of dentition and remaining supporting periodontal structures causes remodeling of alveolar ridges resulting in a less ideal supporting foundation for complete dentures. Thus the placement of complete dentures can cause functional and para-functional occlusal forces that can resorb the underlying bone. Resorption can be reduced by retaining the remaining natural teeth which can further enhance the retention and stability of the denture by distributing the occlusal forces uniformly. Overdenture in the era of implant dentistry allows the preservation of natural teeth and also helps in improving the proprioception and the fabrication of over-denture using ball attachments by preserving the remaining mandibular teeth.

KEYWORDS: Resorption, overdenture, retention, stability, proprioception, attachments.
