Tooth-Supported Maxillary Overdentures: Revisiting Concepts and Applications.

Abstract Tooth-supported maxillary overdentures offer a practical and biologically favourable solution for partially edentulous patients, preserving alveolar bone and enhancing proprioception. This case report highlights the rehabilitation of a maxillary arch using retained natural teeth as abutments, emphasizing improved prosthesis stability, patient comfort, and masticatory efficiency. Endodontic treatment and copings were utilized to support the overdenture. The approach is cost-effective and particularly beneficial for patients unsuitable for implants. Successful outcomes depend on appropriate case selection, meticulous planning, and regular follow-up. This technique integrates preventive prosthodontic principles for optimal functional and aesthetic restoration.
