Case report demonstrates improved function and comfort with overdentures in a partially edentulous patient, indicating effective prosthetic solutions.
Complete or partial tooth-supported overdentures offer several advantages over traditional dentures, including better stability and retention, preservation of remaining alveolar bone, and enhanced sensory input from periodontal receptors. These benefits contribute to improved function, psychological well-being, and overall biological health for patients. The use of extra coronal attachments allows for a secure connection while permitting some degree of movement, which helps distribute stress more evenly and enhances the comfort and functionality of the denture. This article describes a clinical case report for prosthetic rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient and the fabrication of a tooth-supported maxillary partial overdenture and mandibular complete overdenture with using Locator Zest attachments.
