“…5,6 Pacer and Bowman found that the overdenture patient possessed more typical sensory function which is closer to natural teeth than a complete denture patient in discriminating between occlusal forces. The periodontal receptors also actively influence the cyclic joint movements of mastication by influencing the muscles of mastication by their proprioceptive feedback mechanism.…”

The prime focus of dentistry is on preservation of teeth and other oral structures rather than replacing what is lost. An overdenture fulfills this by preserving alveolar ridge integrity and maintaining the proprioceptive ability of the periodontium. An immediate denture replaces the lost teeth and associated structures of the maxillae and mandible at the time of extraction. This case report combines the advantages of both overdenture and immediate denture and shows its stepwise fabrication.

IntroductionThe technique of retaining roots and utilizing an over denture in patients with worn and non-restorable teeth is not a new approach [1,2]. When teeth are extracted, the residual alveolar bone resorbs and continues to resorb over time [3]. The alveolar resorption is greatest in the first months following extraction of teeth, depending upon biological and mechanical factors. However, the rate of resorption on the mandible is faster compared with the maxilla [4]. In addition, greater bone loss was found in the anterior part of the jaws, especially in the mandible [4]. Resorption of the maxilla is apically and poster apically while the mandible is apically and anteroapically. Consequently, if teeth or roots could be maintained in the anterior region of the mandible, it would be a significant benefit to the patient though bones preservation. Prostheses supported by stud type attachments over roots provide a retentive over denture, which is more stable.The use of an over denture attachment system for a partial/ complete removable prosthesis in a patient with endodontically treated retained roots is a predictable approach. The attachment system provides a balanced solution between functional stability and preservation of roots, maintenance of the alveolar bone, cosmetic appeal and economics. Due to the amount of caries and the condition of this young patient's enamel, the treatment option of choice was to preserve the roots of the mandibular teeth. This clinical report describes the placement of an over denture onto endodontically treated abutments utilizing stud attachments. Lithium disilicate ceramic on lays and/or full coverage restorations on the remaining maxillary teeth were utilized to restore the anatomical tooth structure and vertical dimension of occlusion. Full coverage restorations were placed on the maxillary teeth, premolar to premolar, in order to restore the maxillary teeth. Clinical Case ReportA 22-year-old patient presented to the International Comprehensive Program at New York University College of Dentistry with the chief complaint that his teeth keep fracturing and he also did not like their appearance. He wanted them restored in order to improve his smile (Figure 1). He also exhibited halitosis, closed vertical dimension of occlusion, xerostomia and a history of bruxism. During the review of the patient's medical history, we were advised of the use of hormone replacement therapy for transgender (female-to-male) treatment that consists of androgens like testosterone. This therapy may also contribute to this teenage patient's oral conditions, generalized hypoplasia of the enamel; by AbstractBackground: Evidence suggests that the retention of mandibular roots for the preservation of bone in patients by utilizing an over denture is a conservative approach for a fixed and removable prosthetic reconstruction.

“…The functional and aesthetic sequelae of these events result in nutritional deficiencies and impaired quality of life (QOL)(3,4)(3,4). Construction of over-dentures anchored on few retained teeth can successfully reduce the rate of RRR and maintain functional efficiency of the masticatory system(5). …”

Loss of teeth and resultant resorption of the residual ridges is a major oral health problem in India. The resorption leads to irreversible loss of bone volume of the jaws and seriously undermines retention and stability of future dentures. Loss of masticatory efficiency causes nutritional deficiencies and affects quality of life. However, construction of over-dentures (dentures anchored to modified teeth or roots), a sophisticated procedure requiring skills of several dental specialists, can arrest the resorption and provide retentive dentures. Dental specialists in India are, however, concentrated in urban areas leaving the rural populace under-serviced. The aim of our study was to find out whether newly graduated dentists, under remote guidance from specialists, can fabricate over-dentures that are functional and improve the oral health related quality of life.Two groups of subjects were treated with over-dentures. Group 1 consisted of subjects attending a rural dental health clinic (site1) and group 2 at a university teaching hospital (site 2). Two dental graduates at each site carried out treatments. Operators at site 1 were guided remotely over a telemedicine link, cell phones, and emails while those at site 2 were guided directly. Functional assessment of dentures was carried out at the end of the treatment period to determine the technical quality of dentures. Subjective evaluation was carried out by subjects completing the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-EDENT) questionnaire for edentulous subjects before and after treatment.No statistically significant difference was seen between the functional assessment scores of dentures from the two sites (p=0.08) at 95% confidence interval. Both groups also experienced significant improvement in all domains of OHIP - EDENT.Remotely supervised newly graduated general dentists can provide over-dentures of sufficient quality to rural population. This strategy has the potential to improve access to care and elevate the level of dentistry available to rural population when referral to specialists in not feasible. The results of the study provide pointers for dental public health policy makers and administrators in developing nations on how to leverage Information and Communication Technology infrastructure to enhance access to care in rural areas.
