Abstract

Root preservation is an integral factor in reducing residual ridge resorption. It has been seen that preserving teeth bilaterally provides necessary stimulus for the bone to slow down its resorption. When the dentures are retained with the help of such roots with the help of different attachments, they are called overdentures. A bar supported overdenture is known to have the greatest amount of retention when compared to other types of retainers available in market. Although it has demerits like need for extra interarch space, difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene etc. When the requirements are met this can be a very efficient non invasive way of providing patient with almost fixed prosthesis experience. Hence, in this case report we discuss the need of using such retaining agent and various conditions associated with it.
