Introduction: Singleton Merten Syndrome is a rare disease characterized by the presence of the dental dysplasia phenotype, calcifications in the aorta, progressive wear and loss of bone protein (osteoporosis) in the hands and feet. Patients have muscle weakness, poor motor development, abnormal dentition, deformities of the feet and hands, and skin lesions. Objective: This report describes the maxillomandibular rehabilitation of a patient with Singleton Merten Syndrome and an allergic reaction to the acrylic resin through maxillary overdenture and mandibular partial removable denture. Case report: Female patient, 18 years old, with clinical characteristics of Singleton Merten Syndrome and allergic reaction to acrylic resin, with complaints of loss of function and esthetics due to the absence of several teeth, but with the presence of unerupted maxillary and mandibular tooth buds. Maxillary overdenture and mandibular removable partial denture were made of polyethylene. Conclusion: The rehabilitation treatment with maxillary overdenture and mandibular partial removable denture provided better facial muscle support, restoring masticatory function and facial esthetics. With this treatment, it was possible to reestablish patient's satisfaction and self-esteem due to the correct construction of the prostheses, and minimize hypersensitivity reactions in the oral mucosa, which allowed the use of these prostheses by the patient without any complications.

“…The literature reports that overdentures are an advantageous option for edentulous patients with short tooth crown and without retention, absence of eruption of teeth, and difficulties in adjusting to the prosthesis, making possible to restore the esthetics and physiological functions of the oral cavity. Compared to conventional dentures, overdentures feature advantages: better support, stability and retention, ease of phonation, more comfort during the function, and maintenance of volume and height of alveolar bone [3,10,11,18].…”

“…Various studies have shown that the loss of mandibular bone is 4 times more than that of maxilla after loss of dentition. Inherent problems of conventional complete dentures like retention and stability can be easily overcome by the use of tooth or implant supported overdentures [5].…”

Background: Loss of teeth can be a reason for psychological trauma in most of the patients. Other than psychological loss there is also mechanical loss of bone with loss of teeth as alveolar bone is lost. Preservation of a couple of teeth can help in providing better retention and stability to dentures by minimizing bone loss and the use of mechanical aids on retained teeth for additional retention. The use of coping with attachment enhances the retention in the otherwise resorbed residual ridge. The single mandibular denture needs more stability also because of more amount of force from maxillary natural teeth. Thus, the denture can be strengthened by the use of additional mesh in the denture to compensate for the loss of acrylic in place where copings are placed. Case Report: This is a case of 58 year old female with a partially edentulous mandible. The fixed prosthesis was lost recently. The transition to a complete denture with minimal mandibular ridge was difficult. So, the preservation of the roots of the remaining teeth was planned for mandibular overdenture. Treatment Plan: Copings with attachments on bilateral canines were planned. The remaining teeth were given metal housings. The denture was reinforced with metal mesh to bear the maxillary forces from natural teeth. Conclusion: a single mandibular overdenture with copings and attachments increases the retention and stability of the prosthesis and also gives psychological comfort to the patient for the preservation of natural teeth.
