Introduction
The drawbacks of conventional complete dentures can
be masked by the use of overdentures, which dictates the
preservation of tooth structure or placement of implants.
The overdenture is defined as; A complete or partial denture
that may be supported by soft tissue, bone, root of a tooth or
a modified tooth or dental implant.
The overdenture is also called overlay denture, overlay
prosthesis or super imposed prosthesis.
Tooth supported complete denture is a dental
prosthesis that replaces the lost or missing natural
teeth and associated structures of maxilla and/
mandible and receive partial support and stability from
one or more modified natural teeth.
The basic principles of overdenture are:
- Prevent resorption of alveolar bone
- Maintain sensory feedback
- Provide retention and stability
OBJECTIVES OF OVERDENTURE PROSTHESIS:
- Retaining the abutments as part of the residual ridge to
gain support and retention
- Preserving the remaining residual ridge by decreasing the
rate of bone resorption
- Preserving the response of proprioceptive exist in the
periodontal membrane of the abutment tooth.
PRINCIPLES TO BE OBSERVED IN
CONSTRUCTION OF OVERDENTURES:
1. Retained teeth should be reduced to obtain a favorable
crown root ratio.
2. To minimize the vertical movement of the denture, the
retained teeth should be used.
3. The overdenture should be partially tissue borne.
INDIATIONSCONTRA INDICATIONS
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
INDICATIONS:
1. Widely distributed teeth.
2. Few remaining teeth unsuitable for fixed or removable partial dentures.
3. Unhealthy periodontal condition.
4. Patients with class II or class III Angle's classification.
5. Abnormal jaw size ; large maxillary or mandibular bone defects.
6. Congenital defects as cleft palate, microdontia, amelogenesis or dentinogenesis
imperfecta or partial anodontia.
7. As an alternative line of treatment to single dentures opposing few natural teeth. to
prevent combination (Kellys’ syndrome )
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
1. Overdentures are contraindicated in case of poor oral hygiene.
2. Interarch space inadequate to accept the denture and the abutments.
3. Inadequate zone of attached gingiva with grade II mobility of the abutments.
4. Patients who cannot psychologically accept any type of removable denture
ADVANTAGES:
- Greatly Enhanced Stability: - Positive Retention:
- Proprioception: - Psychological Benefits:
- Post Extraction Comfort: The denture sore spots are greatly diminished
- Positive Support and Comfort:
- Reduce forces:
- Preservation of Aveolar Bone: through tensile stimulation of periodontal ligament.
DISADVANTAGES:
1. More expensive than conventional dentures because of periodontal and endodontic
therapy followed by restoration of abutment with coping.
2. Increased bulk in comparison with fixed and removable partial denture.
3. Progression of caries and periodontal disease if oral hygiene is not maintained
4. Encroachment of inter-occlusal distance. reservation of Aveolar Bone: through tensile
Classification
Overdentures can be classified into:
Tooth-supported overdenture Implant-supported overdenture.
Tooth supported overdenture
The tooth supported Overdentures improve stability
retention, masticatory performance, occlusal loading and help
to preserve vertical dimension and facial support.
Advantages of tooth supported overdenture prosthesis:
1. Preservation of the abutments as part of the residual ridge to gain support.
2. Preservation of the proprioception
3. Preservation of the remaining residual ridge
4. Increase patient acceptance by providing psychological benefits
5. Convertibility: overdentures can be converted into a conventional complete
denture after loss of the abutments and relining or rebasing of the denture.
6. Provide mechanical retention through the attachments.
Disadvantages of tooth supported overdentures:
1. Caries and periodontal break down of the abutments teeth
2. Inadequate reduction of the abutment teeth may increase vertical
dimension.
3. The bony undercuts adjacent to the abutment teeth (usually buccally)
cause limitation of path of insertion of the over denture.
4. Time consuming and expensive line of treatment compared to the
conventional complete denture.
5. Encroachment of the inter-occlusal distance leads to bad Esthetics.
Classification ofTooth supported overdenture
Immediate overdenture
Transitional or intermediate overdenture
Definitive (Remote) overdenture
According to the time expected to the denture to be worn
Immediate overdenture
patients with almost a full set of
teeth, most of which are to be lost.
The remaining teeth are reduced to
accept the overdenture (on the cast),
the overdenture is constructed prior
to the preparation of abutment teeth
and is inserted after the preparation.
Transitional Overdenture
Obtaining by Converting an already existing RPD to an O.D.
According to its design into:
1. Simple tooth reduction of vital tooth
2. Tooth reduction and cast coping of vital abutment (Thimble or dome- shaped)
3. Endodontic therapy and amalgam plug
4. Endodontic therapy with post and coping
5. Endodontic therapy with cast coping and attachments
6. Endodontic treated tooth with intra-radicular attachment
7. Telescopic Overdenture
1. Simple tooth reduction of vital tooth
The tooth is modified by reducing the buccal surface 30° and lingual surface 15°. The
mesial and the distal surface are modified to remove the undercuts.
2. Tooth reduction and cast coping of vital abutment (Thimble or dome- shaped)
A- The thimble-shaped coping: B- Tooth reduction and cast coping:
3. Endodontic therapy and amalgam plug
The crown needs severe reduction so endodontic therapy is necessary; the reduced
height is 1-2 mm above the gingival margin. The root canal is filled with gutta percha
and the opening is sealed with amalgam plug (Dome-shape appearance)
4. Endodontic therapy with post and coping
- The crown is reduced to the dome-shape and wax pattern is made for cast coping.
- The metal coping takes its retention from a short post inserted in the root canal
5. Endodontic therapy with cast coping and attachments
Clinically, two attachments are enough to retain a denture. A third attachment adds
unnecessary complexity and weakens the denture.
•The coping has an attachment above.
6. Endodontic treated tooth with intra-radicular attachment
The indication of this type is patients with good oral hygiene measures.
The abutments are prepared as in short-coping but with long intra-radicular post to
prevent root-coping dislodgment. No coping is used for this type.
7. Telescopic Overdenture
It have two types of coping; primary coping on the natural teeth and secondary coping
in the denture. Retention is generally obtained through the frictional resistance
produced between the semi-parallel walls of the two copings and tissue side of the
denture base.
CLINICAL PROCEDURES
I.Patient Selection
Possibility of a Fixed or Removable Partial Denture
Condition of the Abutment Teeth
Age of the Patient
I.Abutment Selection:
Position of abutments.
Number of abutments.
Periodontal evaluation.
Endodontic evaluation.
Decay or previous restorations.
I. Position of abutments
At least one tooth per quadrant.
Two teeth in each quadrant present an ideal situation in
which stress is distributed over a rectangular area.
Canines and premolars are the best overdenture
abutments to reduce adverse forces at this site.
It is recommended to use isolated teeth as abutments
rather than adjacent teeth because they are easier for
patient to maintain hygiene.
As the anterior alveolar ridge resorbs easily under stress, anterior teeth are not usually
selected.
I. Position of abutments
Maxillary incisors can be used as overdenture abutments, if the mandibular arch is
intact to prevent the destruction of the anterior maxillary ridge (kellys’ syndrome).
Periodontal evaluation.
Bone support, pocket depth, width of attached gingiva, mobility, furcation involvement, & root
morphology.
• Minimal mobility
• At least 6mm of bone support
• Attached gingiva around the abutments
• Good oral hygiene
• Proper emergence profile to support
the marginal gingiva
Endodontic evaluation.
Single rooted teeth are easer to treat.
Pulpal recession
The use of restorative materials and sealants
Prior RCT already done.
Potential for RCT
Restorative Condition
Caries.
Previous restorations.
Crown lengthening indicated.

Options
Make preparation with amalgam plug Put a coping on it
Implant supported overdenture
Implant supportedoverdenture
Implants are the latest trend in prosthodontics these days.
Implants are used as a part of removable and fixed partial dentures.
They play an important role in complete dentures too.
Some patients will not be able to wear their dentures
irrespective of its perfect contour. These patients are termed as
"Mal-adaptive". The implant-supported denture can be designed
for these patients.
