In situations where a fixed prosthesis is not recommended, a conventional removable partial denture is a therapy alternative.

The dentures are more stable when roots are maintained beneath the denture base. Moreover, denture retention is improved by using metal copings on the remaining teeth. This clinical report details the technique that fabricates cast partial denture holding the posterior molars of maxillary arch with a tooth supported overdenture with post preparation with 33 and 43.
