Abstract
Overdenture treatment is a removable dental prosthesis that covers or rest on one or more remaining natural teeth, roots of natural teeth, or dental implants. The conventional tooth-retained overdenture is a simple and cost-effective treatment than the implant overdenture. This treatment is not a new concept and practitioners have successfully employed existing tooth structures to assist with complete denture treatment for more than a century. Furthermore, the use of copings on the remaining teeth enhances the retention of the denture. This clinical report describes a method of fabricating a tooth supported overdenture retained with custom made metal coping.
